Ukraine strikes 18 Wildberries warehouses across Russia in just 18 days
Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces struck 18 warehouses belonging to Russian e-commerce marketplace Wildberries over the past 18 days, commander Robert “Magyar” Brovdi said on Telegram.
Ukrainian forces targeted 18 Wildberries warehouses across Russia within a span of 18 days, according to commander Robert "Magyar" Brovdi. The attacks also hit 15 logistics facilities, disabling or severely damaging 13 of them. The commander confirmed an assault on the logistics center in Krasny Bor, Leningrad Oblast, stating that its destruction would have economic repercussions for Russia.
He expressed disbelief that Russia's 111 million voters owe the authorities $146 each due to Wildberries, implying the bill will rise as shopping continues. Brovdi believes Russia will only end the war when economic and social losses become too severe for the population to ignore. A drone strike was reported in temporarily occupied Berdyansk, Zaporizhzhya Oblast, on Aug.
4, causing fires in Syzran. Local authorities said five were killed in Chekhov, near Moscow. Leningrad Oblast Governor Alexander Drozdenko confirmed an attack on a Wildberries warehouse in Krasny Bor. Drones also targeted Wildberries warehouses in Chekhov, Moscow Oblast, on Aug. 4. The Ukrainian Armed Forces initiated strikes on Wildberries logistics centers on July 18, affecting 1.21–1.47 million square meters of warehouses.
The damage totaled 893,000–1.154 million square meters, accounting for 17.2%–22.2% of the marketplace's reported 5.2 million square meters of logistics infrastructure. At least 18 warehouses have been affected, including locations in Elektrostal, Krasnodar, Nevinnomyssk, Voronezh, Yekaterinburg, and St. Petersburg.
