Ukraine's president says Russia has widened its strikes to include attacks on Ukraine's data centres, adding digital infrastructure to the list of targets alongside energy and civilian facilities. The claim underscores concerns that Moscow is seeking to disrupt Ukraine's government systems, banking and communications as the war grinds on, and comes amid ongoing discussions about Ukrainian energy infrastructure and Western support.
