Yeah, this guy's stash may or may not include any Russian data. What I'm saying is that it's a common problem in eastern Europe, in democratic countries and authoritarian hellholes alike. Just because the Russian state can arbitrarily imprison you forever without any valid reason does not make it capable enough as an organization to securely store even data that can be used to badly hurt its interests.
The Ukrainian state has been "digitizing" by leaps and bounds even before the war, and now it's accelerated further. Everything's moving "to the cloud". They seem to be relatively competent these days, past lessons learned perhaps. But the breakneck pace of moving everything online (far outpacing most western European countries) will surely result in breaches, it's just common sense.

The original announcement (via a DeepL translation) indicates that also data of EU citizens was involved, so maybe you are on the right track [1].
