Did Ukraine's strikes on Russian data centers destroy the Kremlin's pro-MAGA bot army? Or are Vladimir Zelensky and his European patrons insulting their citizens with remedial-grade propaganda? RT takes a trip down the rabbit hole.

Ukrainian forces hit three Yandex (Russia's equivalent to Google) data centers with long-range drones between October 8 and 11. Yandex confirmed that operations were "completely halted" at the facility struck on October 8, and temporarily halted at the center struck on October 11. This much is true, but the story that followed veers into NAFO fiction.
