Ukraine Strikes Hit Wildberries Warehouses Across Russia

Ukrainian drone strikes targeted Wildberries warehouses across Elektrostal, Tambov, Krasnodar and Stavropol, killing several and injuring many. Wildberries, founded by Tatiana Bakalchuk, operates hundreds of facilities and handles a large share of online orders, meaning the impact ripples to thousands of sellers and Russian consumers relying on the platform. Kyiv says the strikes aim to disrupt supplies used by the Russian military, including drone components and other dual-use goods, as part of a broader campaign to pressure the Kremlin and bring the war home. Moscow has acknowledged casualties and fires but described some claims as unverified, underscoring domestic disruption and potential knock-on effects on fuel and consumer goods markets. The attacks occur amid wider Ukrainian efforts against oil infrastructure and shipping, signaling a strategy to strain Russia’s wartime economy and supply chains.
