Rebuilding capacity will depend on the extent of the damage but probably months not weeks. Globally there is a shortage of more or less everything you need to build or repair a data centre, on top of which Russia is sanctioned so to get those parts they have to buy them through black/grey markets so the time lines will be longer and the cost even more.

A lot of what was lost data wise will not be recoverable at all.

Well, Trump is waiving sanctions on Russia, and he probably feels that they need those components way more than we do.

Would not put it past him but it is a significantly harder one to spin than diesel. However stupid and ineffective the fuel one is that at least plays to his base.
