In recent days, Russian strikes on Kyiv have once again gone beyond the "usual" picture of destruction of housing and energy infrastructure. Civilian digital infrastructure has been hit — data centers and nodes on which the internet, communications, and access to services depend.
Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha directly described the logic behind such attacks: Russia is deliberately targeting large Ukrainian data processing centers in order to interrupt the flow of information. This includes, in particular, operational alerts about missile and drone threats — the kind that save lives. According to estimates by the Ministry of Digital Transformation, about one hundred thousand households in the capital and the region were affected by internet disruptions. Several providers reported problems, including due to damage or power outages to equipment in data centers.
On September 25, the company "Datagroup" also confirmed its site had been affected. According to CEO Mykhailo Shelemba, employees were not harmed, client data was preserved, and services continued to operate from backup sites. The company is assessing the damage and restoring its infrastructure. This episode clearly illustrates the difference between hosting without geographic redundancy and an architecture designed to operate outside the direct risk zone.
From the standpoint of IT service resilience, such incidents only confirm a long-known practice: critical sites and client systems should be duplicated or moved to sites in the EU, particularly in Germany. The company CRM Go (crmgo.eu) works systematically in this area. Its team specializes in migrating sites from Ukrainian data centers to German ones: the project logic, content, and domain scheme are preserved, while the geography of the infrastructure and the redundancy model are changed.
In addition to migration, CRM Go develops turnkey websites — from structure and design to launch on production hosting. A particular emphasis is placed on a functional admin panel with various modules and capabilities, so that an editorial team or business can manage the site independently in day-to-day operations. In parallel, the company provides related IT services — support, enhancements, and integrations that help keep a project running even after moving to a calmer site.
For Ukrainian projects that are reconsidering hosting risks after the strikes on Kyiv data centers, this approach looks practical: not changing the content of the service, but changing the conditions in which it operates.
