On the morning of September 26, 2026, a targeted strike on the infrastructure of the Cosmonova data center in Kyiv completely interrupted the broadcasting of the Ukrainian TV channel We-Ukraine+. This incident caused serious disruptions in the broadcast of the national telethon, in which the broadcaster participates.
Background and Scale of the Telecommunication Attack
According to official sources and internet service providers, Russian forces launched a repeated strike on the critical telecommunication infrastructure of the Kyiv-based Cosmonova data center. The attack damaged the backbone network, causing cascading failures in the operation of numerous digital services, websites, and support systems.
Contradictory Data
While Ukrainian media resources and the We-Ukraine+ channel focus exclusively on technical broadcasting issues and restoration efforts alongside providers, some foreign sources claim the cessation of broadcasting of the so-called "Ukrainian Ministry of Defense TV channel," which does not correspond to the official status of an independent public broadcaster within the national telethon structure.
Consequences and Plans for Restoring Broadcasting
The channel's press service and technical specialists from the Kolo.TV provider state that they are urgently deploying backup capacities and changing data transmission routes. Due to the scale of the infrastructure damage, the official website, phone numbers, and customer support services are also temporarily unavailable, but work to restore a stable signal is ongoing around the clock.
