Zelensky Claims Data Centre Strikes Killed Russian Bots. Experts Say There Is No Proof.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says strikes on Russian data centres have taken down Russian bot networks. Experts say there is no evidence to support this claim. Zelensky made the statement after Ukraine reportedly attacked facilities belonging to Yandex, Russia's largest technology company. He suggested the strikes had damaged Russia's ability to run online propaganda and bot operations. However, technology experts say they have found no proof that Russian troll activity has slowed. Bot networks are often spread across many servers, making them hard to destroy with a single strike.
