Russia’s Yandex bot traffic nearly eliminated overnight after Ukraine drone strikes cripple multiple of ‘Russia’s Google’ data centers — Ukraine intensifies bombing of Yandex data centers in response to Moscow’s strikes on Kyiv data centers

The **infrastructure damage and crawler traffic drop are verified**, but the leap to “Russian disinformation operations collapsed” remains speculative. Social media automation for influence campaigns typically operates through distributed accounts across platforms—not necessarily dependent on Yandex’s search infrastructure. The Cloudflare data captures search crawlers, not the coordinated inauthentic behavior that concerns election security experts. There seems to be a huge propaganda push to make it sound like Russian disinformation bot farms collapsed after the data center was hit, but overall, so far there isn’t any hard data to confirm such a claim.
**Submission Statement**
FTA:
“*Yandex is Russia’s equivalent to Google, and its Yandex Cloud service status reports that at least 84 services are currently offline. Global internet monitoring firm NetBlocks said that Yandex’s network traffic has dropped to just 30% for Yandex Cloud and 63% for Yandex LLC, most likely resulting in slower internet services or complete disruption for the average Russian.*”
Big if true.
I’ve never had a Twitter account, so IDK what goes on over there, but I’ve heard it’s been botted to hell over the years. I imagine the same is true to a certain extent on Reddit, TikTok etc. I know Twitter’s become more ragebaitey since Musk took it over in 2022. He makes sure posts that engage rage-induced clicks are trending on X to make it the 3 minutes hatred on whatever group he’s chosen to go after that day to distract from the fact that him and the rest of him Epstein class friends are robbing the country blind.
I bet like half of the traffic on X comes from these Russian bot farms. He uses them to fake traffic for investors and also to drive the agenda and the finger of blame from him and friends as needed.
I didn’t notice, but people are always accusing me of being a Russian bot because I oppose the US/NATO proxy war.
Ukraine is being depopulated—the men that have not fled for their lives to Europe are routinely violently kidnapped by conscription gangs, all to fight a political war between the US/EU and Russia/China/BRICS
The war would end immediately if Ukraine’s “allies” ceased to feed billions of dollars and Euros and stolen Ukranian lives into the fire
