According to the article, the eyes are still working for now, but if something goes wrong they’re screwed.
Very tricky situation. Having the government do things like this is one option (although the government isn’t doing it), but having laws forcing these corporations to be open source is another tentative solution.

Ukrzaliznytsia, the company of the Ukrainian railway station says:
“This is a deliberate blow to the passenger infrastructure of the railway and the residents of Kramatorsk”
Reuters reports that it could not verify the information. It also adds that “Moscow has denied targeting civilians since invading Ukraine on Feb. 24.”
Pavlo Kyrylenko, the governor of the Donetsk region says:
“The ‘Rashists’ (‘Russian fascists’) knew very well where they were aiming and what they wanted: they wanted to sow panic and fear, they wanted to take as many civilians as possible,”
The futures market paints a similar picture, so people don’t think it’s short term either.
I’m actually quite surprised. It’s fair to assume sanctions would harm businesses, so what’s changing the price of the Ruble?
Edit: It’s the gas (No paywall)
What’s become clear is that despite an incredibly wide-ranging package of sanctions on the Russian government and its oligarchs, and an exodus of foreign businesses, the actions are largely toothless if foreigners keep guzzling Russian oil and natural gas – supporting the ruble by stocking Putin’s coffers.

The easier it is to start doing a chore or task, the much better it is to do. As another example, my current apartment’s washroom is designed to get completely wet - My toilet basically gets cleaned every shower because of how easy it is to spray it down!
Quotes from the Telecommunications regulator:
“In particular, in the article, the special military operation is called ‘Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,’ ‘Russian aggression against Ukraine,’ ‘Russian-Ukrainian war’ and ‘war’,”
“The material contains information about numerous victims among the servicemen of the Russian Federation, as well as the civilian population of Ukraine, including children, which does not correspond to the official data published by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation,”
For me, it was buying a Robot Vacuum.
I always noticed I slept better in a clean environment. I bought an air purifier and it made a small difference, but when I bought a robot vacuum my life changed. Finally, my floors were clean every day and there was no dust build up.
I did extensive research on them, if you opt for it I recommend anything by Roborock. When you consider the price of a good normal vacuum, you quickly see how good of a deal robot cleaners are
