> Insurance for Russian data centers has surged, Kommersant reported. Rates rose from 0.03–0.06% of insured property value in the first half of 2026 to 1–5% after Ukrainian attacks on Yandex and Sberbank data centers began in October, with increases exceeding 100-fold in some cases. The Russian National Reinsurance Company also tightened terms, prompting companies to cut coverage or exclude some risks.
