In late July, Meduza solicited reader opinions on Ukrainian army strikes on Wildberries warehouses. The resulting responses came primarily from Ukraine, and several hundred letters were shared. Ukrainian readers debated whether the strikes were justified, legal, or if they were simply a means of survival against the aggressive Russian military.
Some Ukrainians likened the strikes to the country's earlier military actions, while others questioned the morality of targeting businesses that support Russia.

Many agreed that the strikes were necessary due to the widespread suffering experienced by Ukrainians, and that Russia's actions had made it difficult for Ukraine to claim moral superiority.
