Ukraine has struck data centers belonging to Yandex, often called “Russia’s Google,” disrupting digital services across Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Ze…

Hi! The bot is here.😁
Now, start bombing their oil refineries again, since Russia broke the Trump truce 10 minutes later.
Putin made Russia look soft he should've destroyed Ukraine the first month and drop bombs on NATO
Data centers have vodka as coolant
Aaah this is the true reason why Trump is so crazy, he can not just call Putin and let he's bots do the same work for he's midterms as they did so he got to be president for the first and hopefully last time...
Those bots just hacked france supermarket Fridges and set the temperature to 50°😂😂😂😂😂 1 million euros in loses.
imagine you lived in a place where if the internet is down they have to first reassure you your money is safe
Exhibit A
Isn't this an attack to freedom of speech? Even if its supposed a bot and a supposed farm center this is illegal.
Ukraine is winning on the Internet 😂😂
Nope I’m here
Please keep it up. Kremlin bots are so irritating.
Just in time for the US mid-term elections 👍
Thank you Ukraine and President Zelenskyy. Please hit more Russian data centres.
Russian bots silenced in supporting Maga, AfD <br>No yandekx - no bots
Thanks Ukraine
Good job by Ukraine 🎉
Marco Rubio genuinely believes separation time from Trump post 2028 will help rid him of Trump's stench. It won't. He, Vance and the lower lifes in the administration are forever stuck in Trump's stench.
Nah, there's still plenty of us bots left 😂😂😂
"Well it was just made up in donald trumps mind" <br>I love the lines bro is dropping 😂👌 This is how real we need to talk about things of this level of absurdity
Can't imagine how "Yandex" is related to trolls in Russia and their behaviour online. Presumably any putative affect on trolls is a matter of colocated other services, such as inter-networking equipment, or possibly distracting loss of their Yandex-based other 'stuff online'?
Botski is kaputski.
Ukraine is on the front lines of anti terrorism operations. Ukraine needs more support.
Thanks Ukraine!!
Oh poor Elon, who will comment on his asinine posts now?
Brilliant! More of this, please!
Here we are!
Noooo, we Russian bots are still here!<br>Eat our shirt
Incredible drop in angry and contrarian posts here in Ireland
I was wondering why there were no russbots commenting under every mainstream media channels. Good job ukraine 👏
Not very many pro AFD posts around as well ! Wonder why that is??????
Trump is HATED in America . Period .
People are about to find out that Russians can buy foreign servers just as easily as everyone else.
Not just Europe! Canada too.<br>Haven't heard much for the Alberta separatists today..
Surprise! Surprise! We bots are still here.<br>I'm a bot, he's a bot, she's a bot, we're all bots, hey!<br><br>I'm a bot, he's a bot, she's a bot, we're all bots, hey!<br>There's nothing better than friends, there's no problem you can't beat.<br><br>Someone who's always got your back, not caring about this and that.<br>Just hanging out, just having fun, we're number one!<br>Just hanging out, just having fun.<br><br>I'm a bot, he's a bot, she's a bot, we're all bots, hey!<br>I'm a bot, he's a bot, she's a bot, we're all bots...<br><br>Uh, wait, what are we doing now?<br><br>Uh, yo, we're breaking it down... Ah, oh!<br>Yeah, hah! Rock on, bots! Haha, woah!<br><br>I'm a bot, he's a bot, she's a bot, we're all bots, hey! ✌
Well, if the "allies" of Ukraine from California that own the Google and YouTube don't WANT to do it, then Ukraine will do it for them.
Fewer bots.
It's good to see the results in the comments sections......DW News, France 24, BBC etc comments sections are usually almost entirely filled with pro Russian bots and trolls.
Fantastic. Honestly Russia's hostile interference with our internet is a declaration of war. They are trying to destroy us. Taking their bot farms out should have been done a long time ago.
State-aligned influence operations and commercial bot networks don't launch automated social campaigns from corporate, registered Yandex data center IP blocks. Doing so would lead to immediate rate-limiting and subnet-level blacklisting by platform security systems.Modern disinformation farms (like the infrastructure behind Doppelgänger or Russian troll operations) operate through decentralized residential proxy networks, bulletproof hosters, rented VPS clusters, and compromised IoT devices scattered worldwide. As independent watchdogs like @antibot4navalny noted, aggregate automated traffic originating across Russia as a whole barely flinched on baseline charts during the same window. Anecdotal claims about "quiet comment sections" or sudden gaps in partisan discourse reflect confirmation bias running alongside viral engagement. The strikes delivered a massive operational blow to domestic Russian civilian infrastructure, cloud services, and supercomputing capacity, but they didn't pull the plug on Twitter's bot supply.
You want to tell me that the same Russia which did steal washing machines from Ukraine to get the chips from it haves a autonomous delivery bots all over the cities. I would say that this is quite big jump from being behind to being quite advance in 4 years only.
Nice, next targets: the enemies data centers
MAGA went conspicuously quiet online as well. Russian bots also, it seems.
“Did Ukraine's Yandex data centers strikes disrupt Russia's bot army?”, you ask…..<br>Errr….., going by the anger and indignation incited, including in the USA, one would hazard a guess that the answer is a categorical “YES!”<br>Slava 🇺🇦!!! <br>Good ol’ Volodymyr Zelenskyy - going where no European head of state has EVER dared to go, nor has had the cojones to go, before him!
Why interview Phillips O'Brian? This man OBVIOUSLY has no idea what datacentres do. A datacentre is the MAIN logistics-hub of ANY modern country. Take out datacentres and you take out a country's ability to organise its supply-chain.
Message is clear, if people want a better internet, people just need to bomb more data centers.
I don't see it, but I guess my algo wasn't that hit. Still see lots of Ukrainian "bots" though.
Zelensky is a genius to start wild fires at other people’s yards but cries when it reaches his yard!!? 😂😂😂
well except for the biggest bot ever DJT!!
Some of the best news of the year
So quiet here. So few LOL emojis. Nice. One could get used to that. Thanks for the interesting report, DW.
If yes, keep it up!
I am still here. The strike couldn't stop me 😂😂😂😂<br>Nonsense 😂😂😂😂
It's quiet here, usually DW is full of diarrhea comments
Please continue to help Ukraine!
how bots are connected with destroyed data center? stupidest thing I've ever heard
I'd support hitting 6 more. I want my taxes to go to this.
So few Russian bots in the comments.<br><br>Oh wait.
Love it. More strikes pls
so now we know the man who said will destroy bots purchased bots to mange naarative this is like keeping bad thing sin hand to mange future
Still they can not defeat Trump!
Yes, but the US under Trump is turning on Europe as a whole. Scary imo.
It is mad that we have not just cut off all internet traffic from Russia.
oh man shutting up the ivanbot army would be the greatest service Ukraine has done for the world yet
Zelenskiy is scared of truth and that's an attempt to silence Russians if not in battlefield but in informational sphere.
Yep, noticed the drop in the toxicity before I knew about the strikes ... assumed it was just better moderation or something ... but ... well ... I guess it kind of was a massive ban-hammer :)
Your editor should reconsider the start of this video
What does the EU do?
Yes, many many less AFD friendly comments since Yandex got striked here in Germany.<br>Normally there's hundred's.
when you are opposite you will be called a bot nowadays
Guys, we can comment and almost no Russian bots will respond! 😅
Finally somebody did something. The fact the free world has sat back and tolerated Russia's digital behavior for so long is just a sign of how comfortable and soft that western leaders have become.
The number of separatist posts and interactions here in Alberta Canada have also dropped substantially. Thank you Ukraine.
This is really good news in a very difficult time.
Can’t they just cut off any internet connection from/to Russia? Who needs anything from russists anyhow?
End of a mass psychosis
Ukraine has maybe two months left
I'M STILL HERE. GO RUSSIA 🇷🇺🇮🇷🇾🇪🇱🇧🇵🇸🇮🇶🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇳🇮🇻🇪🇧🇾❤️
Brilliant strategy - and detox from russian bot farms is great - they want to destabilize democracies - thank you Ukraine!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ahahaah look at the comments! just people with morals here now wanting war to end
Great, just before the mid terms
There goes half of the Trump supporting accounts.
I have notice a reduction of bots indeed. Funny. Ukraine, shoot more data centers please.
It's remind me destroying Saruman tower 🗼 in Lord of the rings.. Mf96
Apparently they lost billions in crypto. Lmfao
Slava Ukraini!! <3
I was thinking these were MAGA/CPAC bots, but that chats and comment sections are full of bots is beyond evident.
Target the troll farms next
aaaahhhhhh the achillies heel !
Hey, does that mean all you warmongers will stop calling me a russian bot for calling you out for supporting Not-Sees?
Unfortunately it failed to take out the hundreds of Western ones!!
No there is one still operating in the whitehouse
Ukraine’s strikes on Yandex have disrupted Russian digital services. Zelenskyy says they also reduced Russian bot activity on social media. That's a claim that remains unverified. Could targeting data centers weaken Moscow’s information warfare? What evidence would convince you?
Yandex-ed
Thanks Ukraine, that's all it took to make the Internet 50% more polite!
Yes 👍, make Russia 🇷🇺 pay!!
true look t these commenst.
Yandex is shortly going to cease to exist.
