A claim that strikes on Yandex data centres disrupted Russian online bots has been challenged by experts, who say there is no evidence that Russian trolls were affected.
The claim was made by Zelensky in relation to attacks by Ukraine on Yandex data centres. The available material does not provide details of when the strikes took place, where the facilities were located or the extent of any damage.
The central question is whether the attacks had an impact beyond the data centres themselves, particularly on accounts or systems described as Russian bots and trolls. Experts cited in the reporting say the available evidence does not show that such activity was reduced or otherwise affected.
As a result, the claim remains disputed. No further evidence or official assessment confirming an impact on Russian bots is provided in the supplied material.
