Ukraine continued their attacks on Russian energy targets in Samara, Ukhta, and Novoshakhtinsk. Ukraine has now struck three Yandex data centers in Sasovo, Kaluga, and Vladimir leading to internet outages. Trump has lifted sanctions on Russia and announced America will be buying billions of dollars of Russian diesel fuel.

    I don’t post every time Jake Broe makes a new video (far from it), I watch all of them, but I only post if I think they contain something that is significant.
    This one is significant IMO, because he looks on the effect of taking out Yandex data centers.
    Data center bingo board is the new thing. 😋
    There is also bonus content like 2 Russian cars in frontal collision to avoid a drone. 🤡
    And an absolutely devastating section on the US diesel agreement with Russia. That alone is a must see.

    Anywho this is one of the better ones IMO.
    Enjoy.

    Edit PS:
    If you want me to post them all, feel free to say so in the comments.

    First of all, the title is 100% clickbait. Russian internet has not been cut off. Period.

    Second of all, Russian political troll/bot farms do not use Yandex Cloud to operate. They try and blend in, so they use VPNs in western countries, residential connections in western countries, et cetera.

    So if there has been a drop in Russian posting, it’s not because of the Yandex thing.

    What has dropped off is the Yandex indexing bot traffic, i.e. like how Google indexes the internet, so does Yandex and other search engines.
