Ukraine war: Zelenskiy orders operation against Russian defence industry

On the night of Wednesday, Russian missiles hit the central warehouse of German lubricant manufacturer Liqui Moly in the Kyiv region, reports the "Bild newspaper". The company itself also reported this on its Facebook page. According to the report, the flames completely destroyed the company's warehouse. "The most important thing is that our employees are safe and no one was injured," the company wrote on Facebook.

"A human life is priceless." Although tons of products were destroyed, Russia could not destroy the company's reputation, the team, and the faith in Ukraine, Liqui Moly announced. On the company's website, customers were temporarily informed that no orders were possible. The company needed time to set up new delivery routes. Liqui Moly produces lubricants, greases, additives, and motor oils and is headquartered in Ulm. The company belongs to the Würth Group.
