Government plans support for business after Russian Warehouse attacks
Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhiy Koretskyi said he held an emergency meeting with business, retail and logistics leaders to ensure uninterrupted supplies of food, medicines and other essential goods amid Russia's sustained strikes on key enterprises on Aug. 6.
On August 6, Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhiy Koretskyi convened an emergency meeting with business, retail and logistics leaders to guarantee the continuous flow of vital goods, including food, medicines, and other essentials, in the face of Russia's ongoing strikes on major enterprises. The prime minister emphasized the necessity of preventing supply disruptions, particularly in frontline regions.
The government is collaborating with businesses to devise concrete measures that will ensure uninterrupted operations. Additional discussions with the National Bank of Ukraine, banking sector representatives, and pertinent ministries are scheduled to explore credit support mechanisms.
Koretskyi stressed that standard approaches are ineffective in wartime and that unconventional solutions are required. His administration is also planning to decentralize international logistics and broaden customs corridors. Another focus is war-risk insurance, for which Ukraine seeks international cooperation in establishing effective mechanisms.
Furthermore, the government is prepared to grant businesses priority access to vacant facilities to diversify warehouse capacity. The Economy Ministry, the Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA), and the State Property Fund have been tasked with compiling a list of such properties within three days.
Earlier, Russia launched a devastating overnight assault on Kyiv and adjacent Oblast on August 5, resulting in 17 fatalities. None of the 28 missiles fired were intercepted. Notably, Rozetka's warehouse complex in Brovary was entirely destroyed, and Epicentr's warehouses and production plant suffered irreparable damage. The strike also obliterated Nova Poshta's sorting center in Kyiv, two Silpo distribution centers, and a logistics complex storing Puma products, which was completely destroyed.
Additionally, a logistics complex near Kyiv, encompassing Intertop's main warehouse, was leveled, along with a warehouse containing Bosch products in Ukraine.
