The military analyst clarifies that:Such strikes are inseparable from attacks on energy infrastructure:Each destroyed data center or substation brings Ukraine closer to a command-and-control breakdown, notes the analyst, with its effects soon to be visible in Russian advances in the Kharkov and Sumy regions, and in Ukraine’s approach to negotiations.

Russia’s strikes on data centers such as De Novo aim to disrupt the infrastructure underpinning the state, the military and the economy, retired Colonel Rustem Klupov, a decorated military intelligence veteran, tells Sputnik.
The military analyst clarifies that:
data centers store and transfer vast amounts of information, connecting critical state and civilian systems
their destruction disrupts information flows between military command posts, communications hubs and frontline units
digitized defense, military, topographic and geodetic data can be erased or rendered inaccessible
links between government institutions and communications networks, including radio and television, are severed
Such strikes are inseparable from attacks on energy infrastructure:
data centers depend entirely on the power grid
hitting thermal plants, hydroelectric stations and substations cuts electricity to production, transport, communications, radar, drones, robotic systems, command posts

Each destroyed data center or substation brings Ukraine closer to a command-and-control breakdown, notes the analyst, with its effects soon to be visible in Russian advances in the Kharkov and Sumy regions, and in Ukraine’s approach to negotiations.
