The Kremlin spoke out about the situation with Yandex

The Kremlin spoke out about the situation around Yandex, which is facing difficulties due to the consequences of attacks by Ukrainian drones on the company’s data centers. Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov gave a comment quoted by RIA Novosti.

Journalists asked whether there is talk at the Cabinet level about a mechanism for compensating citizens if failures in the work of Yandex lead to financial losses. In this regard, Peskov noted that it is now premature to talk about such losses, although the issue with the problems that have arisen “is, of course, being discussed in the government.” “You know that the company is strong, powerful,” the Kremlin spokesman said, noting that “urgent measures are being taken to eliminate the consequences of this attack.”

After the UAV strikes, Yandex services worked intermittently or were unavailable. The company guaranteed the safety of customer funds. On the night of October 13, it became known that access to Yandex Pay had begun to be restored, in particular to transfers and payments, which was being opened in stages to cope with the load.

The head of the Ministry of Digital Development, Maksut Shadayev, said the day before that Yandex had been subjected to an “unprecedented attack”, and the department and the Ministry of Defense were “resolving the issue of covering these objects.”
