Brexiters can’t cope with the fact that Putin was cheering them on | Rafael Behr
Russian meddling probably didn’t affect the referendum result – but the Kremlin’s motives for wanting to undermine the EU still matter, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

Funny how both Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson echo Kremlin talking points about Russian Brexit meddling being a ‘lie’, exactly as they did a decade ago blaming the EU for Putin’s first invasion of Ukraine

Every time a Brexist denies Russian interference, ask them "do you believe that Russia intervenes in European politics?" If the answer is yes, then the follow-up is "and why do you conclude that they choose not to interfere in British politics?"

Yandex Pay had to come out with a statement after many Russians said they couldn’t access their money. Yandex Bank is also unresponsive after the Ukrainian strike on three data centres.
< Press releases
We continue to restore Yandex Pay.
October 11, 2026
Hi everyone, I'm Dima Pirogov, and I head Yandex's fintech division.
This morning, another Yandex data center, home to our services, was damaged. Because of this, many of you are stilli unable to check your balance, pay for purchases, or transfer money.
First things first: all your money is safe. The money itself isn't stored in a data center. That's where the servers that power the services are located. Records for each account are stored in multiple copies across multiple locations. We've verified their integrity: not a single record was lost.
Im very sorry I can't tell you yet that everything is working again. The team is continuing to restore services and is checking every step. When it comes to your money, it's important to us not only to restore Yandex Pay as quickly as possible, but also to ensure everything is working reliably.
I understand that you're not waiting for words, but for access to your money. And I understand how hard it is to wait when you can't use it. We can't yet give you a precise restoration timeline, but we promise: we won't stop until the service is restored.
Thank you to everyone who's been waiting, supporting us, and writing kind words. And we're sorry for making you worry. We really appreciate you staying with us, even during such a difficult time. We'll get back to you with news as soon as we can.

I think two things are now conceivably possible that were previously beyond the realms of possibility: 1. US policy becomes actively* hostile to Ukraine 2. The US demands/engineers Europe/NATO being forced to choose between support for that US policy or support for Ukraine.
