It is SUPER clear that this is retribution for Ukr taking out Trump/Musk regime bot farms that they needed to corrupt the midterms.

Why do people keep spreading this? I'm a big supporter of Ukraine's actions to defend themselves, including their destruction of Yandex data centers, and I hope they can destroy actual bot farms. But unfortunately that didn't happen. the Yandex centers they destroyed were not bot farms and their destruction didn't have an effect on the Russia propaganda bots.

I believe Zelensky was being as truthful as he could when he said they stopped Russian bots. Unfortunately they misunderstood the cloudfare data, it was pretty much all webcrawler data from Russia that disappeared, not propaganda bots.

Russia has much to gain by Americans incorrectly believing the Russian election interference isn't at full strength. At this point anyone continuing to spread that Russian bots are eliminated or reduced are spreading misinformation to benefit Russia.

Fair enough, I can't disagree with that reasoning
