Ukraine Targets Wildberries Warehouses in Russia, Disrupting E-Commerce Operations
Ukraine has expanded its drone campaign to target 23 Wildberries warehouses across Russia, disrupting the country's largest e-commerce platform and affecting small businesses and consumers. The strikes have caused operational halts, employee casualties, and significant inventory losses estimated at $5 billion. Wildberries, employing nearly 15,000 people and owing over $10 billion to Russian banks, is considered a strategic asset by the Kremlin, which is discussing potential state support amid ongoing attacks. Ukrainian officials cite the platform's use by Russian soldiers to purchase military-related supplies as justification for targeting it.
