please, numerous Yandex services, including Yandex Cloud, Mail, Disk, Pay, and Taxi, as well as for third-party clients relying on its infrastructure — restored or not?
**None of them are fully restored; they are all in a «partially restored, but some functions still restricted» state.**
According to Yandex's official statements and multiple media reports, the current status of relevant services is as follows:
### 📧 Mail and Other Core Services: Gradually Restoring
Yandex officially announced on October 11 that the company's services are «gradually resuming operations.» Access to Search, Alice, Maps, Taxi, and Mail is being restored, **but some functions remain unavailable**.
### 💾 Disk: Actively Limiting Some Functions
To preserve the availability of core services, Yandex **has intentionally restricted** some functions of Yandex 360, including Disk. Specific restrictions include:
— **Cannot download folders**, but individual files can still be downloaded.
— Some users have encountered files that cannot be opened or downloaded, but technical analysis shows this is due to the server returning a 504 Gateway Timeout, meaning the file exists but cannot be accessed, **not permanent data loss**.
### ☁️ Yandex Cloud: Limited Mode Operation
Yandex Cloud remains in a «limited mode» with unstable status. The company has partnered with VK Cloud, Selectel, and K2Cloud to assist customers in migrating data to alternative infrastructure. Meanwhile, Yandex Cloud and Yandex 360 have waived fees for customers **until the end of October**.
### 💳 Yandex Pay: Partial Restoration, No Timetable
Yandex engineers are working to restore Yandex Pay. The company claims that user access to funds will «soon» be restored, **but has not provided a specific timeline**. Currently, only some users can use transfer and payment functions.
### 🚕 Taxi and Other Services: Intermittent
Although Taxi is on the «gradually restoring» list, users in Russia and neighboring countries such as Kazakhstan and Belarus have reported being unable to hail rides. The Yandex Pro app used by drivers also experienced issues.
### ⚠️ Key Facts
— **Physical Damage is Severe**: Data centers in Sasovo and Vladimir have been **completely shut down**, and the Kaluga data center has also been damaged. Yandex has stated it is «very difficult to say» when the equipment will be restored.
— **Expert Estimates**: Some experts estimate that replacing damaged equipment may take **up to six months**, limited by sanctions and chip shortages.
**Summary**: Services are restoring on the surface, but core infrastructure is still in a state of damage. The restoration of Disk, Pay, and Cloud is particularly limited and uncertain
