Why in the world would they cut the cables to friendly Vietnam, or for that matter Svalbard, which has a Russian town of Barentsburg?

Does Svalbard really have a huge e-commerce sector or something that needs undersea fibre? They doubtlessly have plenty of satellite internet, so this will just limit their bandwidth and maybe interrupt things temporarily. What's the strategic value in cutting it?
