Russia is attacking Ukraine's digital infrastructure with the same intensity as its energy grid, Ukrainian Prime Minister Sergiy Koretskyi said on Friday. He noted a rise in AI-aided cyberattacks targeting state information systems and businesses, with 10 data centers in Kyiv struck last month alone. Moscow's forces have intensified strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure ahead of winter, expanding a summer campaign that targeted logistics, businesses, and data centers. Ukraine has also extended its strikes to Russia's energy industry and e-commerce giants. Kyiv's defensive and battlefield capabilities have been hampered by recent restrictions on its use of the US-based Starshield satellite internet service.
