One cool little tidbit/tidbyte is in regards to these attacks on data centers. For Ukraine, data is backed up in Europe. Microsoft, and AWS has provided hosting to Ukraine gratis.
In Russia? Russia being Russia has a law that data cannot be stored outside the country and over 80% of data centers in Russia are concentrated in the Moscow/St Petersburg areas. This creates the potential for loss of data in its entirety depending on the location of backup data and for smaller companies, that their backups are even up to date. And Russia of course has put the onus on the data companies to protect their facilities.
Can Russia loosen these restrictions and permit data storage in friendly countries? Don't hold your breath.
Then of course there is the cost and scarcity of hardware for Russia to purchase. Building of new data centers is already down significantly. Now there is the additional burden of repairing what they already have.

Ukraine is to blame for Trump’s syphylitic insanity, Hogsbreath’s incompetence and Putin’s megalomania.

Trump: We were in the midst of negotiating and a lot of stupid people said why aren’t you putting Russian sanctions—
Collins: But you said you didn’t give anything for his release
Trump: If I didn’t do that, you wouldn’t have him coming back.
Collins: So you did give something.
Trump: You don’t know anything. You’re fake news CNN.
Collins: You’re saying you lifted the sanctions in exchange for his release?
Trump: You don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re a low IQ person. You’re a dummy.

I presume that it's a translation issue. He knows that 'vegetarian' means 'someone who eats vegetables', and has in consequence misconstrued the meaning of 'humanitarian'...

Well, if Ukrainian Clown can do that then Musk most certainly can too.
