Russian mobile and Internet providers were also attacked. Ukrinform reported on this, citing its own sources in military intelligence.

In particular, according to the sources, Russian users are complaining about malfunctions of the digital service provider Rostelecom. They also complain about the lack of Internet access on mobile operators MTS, Beeline, and Yandex, including a number of its services.
