Russian Civil Aviation Authority Rosaviatsia offline
This seems the best place for this as it is certainly related.

Russia's Civil Aviation Authority "Rosaviatsia" (favt.ru) went offline yesterday (Monday March 28th 2022), this website as well as associated websites no longer respond.
According to some stories in Russian Media this is due to a large scale restructuring of the agency after the head of the agency is about to retire after 23 years in service.
The agency themselves put out a (Russian) statement that reads (translation by AVH):
Due to temporary lack of access to Internet and malfunction of the electronic document flow system of Rosaviatsia the Federal Agency for Air Transport is switching to paper version.
The document flow procedure is being determined by the current records management instructions.
Information exchange will be carried out via AFTN channel (for urgent short message) and postal mail.
Please make this information available to all Civil Aviation Organizations.
Aviation Sources in Russia report that Rosaviatsia fell victim to a hacker attack started on last Saturday (Mar 26th 2022), which wiped out their entire database and files consisting of 65 Terabytes of data including e-mail of 1.5 years, documents, aircraft registration data ... No backup of these data exists due to lack of funds allocated by Russia's Ministry of Finance. Rosaviatsia blames the success of the hacker attack (presumably carried out by the Anonymous Hacking Group) onto their contractor hired to maintain their IT-structure. Prosecution office as well as secret service are investigating since Saturday. Official statements like a change of head of the agency are incorrect, the head of the agency is still in office.

The troops, who dug trenches in a contaminated Red Forest near the site of the worst nuclear disaster in history, are now reportedly being treated in a special medical facility in Gomel, Belarus. The forest is so named because thousands of pine trees turned red during the 1986 nuclear disaster. The area is considered so highly toxic that not even highly specialized Chernobyl workers are allowed to enter the zone.
If that was for me, then the only reason you were mentioned in dispatches is because of viewtopic.php?f=64&t=6954&start=1360#p330998. Not my choice. Did you or didn't you?PN wrote:Don't drag me into your petty squabbles.

RU or UKR?
According to the Telegraph the Russians would blame the Ukrainians. Anything else would be unconsciousable.
