Russian banking, e-commerce, geolocation, and ride-hailing services have
suffered disruptions due to Ukrainian drone attacks on data centers.

This month alone, Ukraine hit three main data centers belonging to a tech
giant, one belonging to Russia's biggest bank, and one for a social media
platform.

The businesses have not been particularly transparent about the extent of
damage to their facilities, but people across Russia have reported widespread
interruptions to cloud services.

The fallout even affected Russia's judicial system, reportedly forcing
arbitration courts to cancel or postpone sessions, and cutting database
access.

Experts say, repairing the damage could take months, if not years...

while others say Moscow's aim to become a leader in AI development could be
significantly impacted.

Russia has also previously attacked Ukrainian power grids and other key
infrastructure as a means of weakening morale and resistance.
