The Cosmonova data center has ceased operations after the attack caused extensive damage. The company's specialists are already working to mitigate the impact and gradually restore services.
The company said the facility suffered significant damage and the data center will no longer operate.
Despite this, specialists have already begun work to contain the attack's consequences.
The team is partially transferring and restoring services to restore access as quickly as possible.
The company said it would provide updates on the condition and status of customers' equipment at the data center as information becomes available.

Relevant authorities have partially restricted access to the facility. As a result, even Cosmonova specialists cannot enter the site for now.
As previously reported, a series of Russian strikes on Kyiv damaged critical IT infrastructure.
In particular, Russian fire hit Cosmonova facilities.
The damage to the data center's backbone network caused widespread disruptions to internal services, telecommunications, and internet providers in the city.
The attacks also temporarily disrupted broadcasts on several Ukrainian TV channels.
Specialists are already working to restore the infrastructure, but the company said its services are temporarily disrupted.
At the same time, Cosmonova said that despite the damage to its facilities, none of its employees were injured and that all customer data was fully preserved thanks to its geographic redundancy system.
