> IT market sources told Kommersant that replacing equipment destroyed in Ukrainian strikes on Yandex data centers could take up to six months. Yandex may seek supplies through multiple channels, including abroad; hardware prices are expected to rise in the short term, with the added costs eventually pushing up cloud-service prices. Ukrainian drones struck three of Yandex’s six known data centers in recent days, disrupting services for users in Russia and elsewhere.
