Good evening from Kyiv. As Zelenskyy is in DC pushing for Ukraine aid, large parts of the city w/o cell phone service

Kyivstar, the largest mobile service provider, has been hit by a cyberattack

Safety issues: access to critical missile alerts limited

The cell phone outage has been going on since this morning. But it's not just cell service -- Kyivstar also provides home internet service, so that's out for many people too.

The cyberattack leaves civilians who rely on incoming missile alerts on their phone vulnerable.

Monobank, a critical Ukrainian financial institution, has also experienced outages throughout the day

Unlike in the U.S., many Ukrainians do account-to-account transfers with each other over Monobank in order to pay for goods

The result is more terrorization of innocent civilians, and even further disruption of daily life.

The negotiations are deadlocked on an issue that has nothing to do with any of the three topics listed above: immigration policy
