Big story developing in Russia today.
Ukraine hit Yandex really hard.
The loss of 4 yandex data centers means Russia drones lose realtime data, businesses lose customer data, cloud storage disappears. It’s a huge disruption across Russia, and Belarus.
Late reports are Yandex is totally down across Russia.
This means dozens of apps used by people everyday are not working.
Ukraine really hit them last night. Also, more oil tanks are burning in several locations.
A lot of people have no email, and no way to do business today and the damage at Yandex is severe. The impact on the Russian military is immediate and it will cut down the drones they are sending into Ukraine.
Not one bot commented on this.
Usually it would be 7 to 10! You wouldn't see it because I can easily filter them, but none!
Ukraine has done great damage to Russian businesses and its military but it seems to have really hit their propaganda machine!

And I fact checked
@kylegriffin1 They went through all of Jack Smith’s texts and found nothing.
Keep in mind Republicans were screaming about Biden’s DOJ looking at their text messages for most of the day. Right up until they tried to use texts from Trumps DOJ as evidence 😂
A weird prediction I have: once Trump dies, I think everyone's going to be surprised by how quickly the whole right decides he was a terrible president who destroyed America and the GOP.
This doesn't mean they'll become more moderate or go back to the pre-Trump era.
@marlene4719 It's unbelievable that we have a raging child in charge of this country.
Who also wants to drop nukes on another Nation because they embarrassed him.
What a disaster.
Ossoff literally said people can't afford food, to pay their bills and buy gas but trump is too focused on his ballroom and traveling with Natalie to care and the WH only took issue with the 'traveling with Natalie' part thus proving Ossoff right that it's all they care about.
If Trump was willing to let his inner circle and closest advisors potentially get shot down in an airplane, what do you think he thinks about all of us?
Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise for Americans across the country. I expect the president to reheat debunked conspiracy theories about the repeatedly litigated and audited and confirmed 2020 presidential election in Georgia, an election that Donald Trump lost. And let me be very clear about this: if the President declares Georgia's election illegitimate, or if the President declares Georgia's sitting United States Senators illegitimate, he is declaring Georgia voters illegitimate. It's Donald Trump who tried to defraud Georgia voters in that election, Donald Trump who tried to commit election fraud when he called Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger -- and it was caught on tape, and you should play the tape to your viewers today -- and badgered and bullied Georgia's top election official to 'find him' the votes that he needed to win in a state where he had lost."
The problem, ultimately, is that restoration of free passage in the Hormuz Strait would require a massive combined-arms offensive that would be extremely costly in blood and treasure, that would necessitate involvement of Western allies who no longer trust us and won't fight with us, and for which there would be little, if any, domestic political support.
Had the Iranians taken control of the strait unilaterally without our provocation, the conditions for such a massive response—involving ground troops, allies, and Congressional authorization—might have been possible.
Which is why the Iranians never did that.
Now Trump—and we—are stuck. And the Iranian regime knows it. They correctly perceive Trump's flailing as weakness, and their new leaders, having gained the upper hand after a decapitation strike, know they have the upper hand. They don't give a shit about Trump's threats.
It's hard to imagine a greater and graver strategic failure than this one, which has resulted solely from Trump's idiocy, ignorance, incompetence, impulsiveness, and insanity.
