Yandex cloud data centre in Sasovo hit by Ukrainian drones (OWA-UAV) overnight. Strategic target likely with impacts much greater than an internet network disruption chart will suggest. Trump isn’t the only one who loves data centres. Feel the warmth.

Either there’s rule of law or there’s not. Either we are defined by a system of justice that holds the guilty accountable or we aren’t. Either we have a democracy that limits abuse to define our public life and the rights of citizens or we have a country collapsing into strongman authoritarianism.
