A series of cyberattacks targeting Kyiv has laid bare the risks of Russia’s push to consolidate its internet infrastructure under a single state-controlled entity. The strikes disrupted key online services, raising concerns about the stability of a system designed to streamline government oversight of digital communications.

The incident underscores how reliance on a single operator may amplify vulnerabilities in times of conflict or technical failure.
