Russia is attacking Ukraine's information and network infrastructure, but the country is unlikely to be left without internet access because its internet channels are highly distributed, according to analyst Serhii Beskrestnov, as reported by Ukrinform.
Beskrestnov's assessment suggests that while individual attacks may cause localized disruptions, the overall structure of Ukraine's internet network provides resilience against a nationwide blackout, the report said.
Ongoing infrastructure attacks
Ukrinform's report did not specify recent individual attacks on network infrastructure or detail the extent of any current disruptions experienced by Ukrainian users.
The report did not include comment from Ukrainian government officials on infrastructure protection measures, nor did it detail Russia's stated objectives in targeting network infrastructure.
Further details on the broader pattern of attacks on Ukraine's infrastructure during the war were not included in the available report.
