“Madyar” Explains the Goal of Strikes on Wildberries Warehouses

Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces commander, Robert "Madyar" Brovdi, has revealed the intention behind strikes on Wildberries logistics centers. The aim is to make the war directly felt by ordinary Russians and persist until the company can no longer quickly restore its damaged infrastructure, according to UATV English. Brovdi described Wildberries as "a quartermaster of the war," emphasizing that the retail network is more than just a civilian marketplace; it's also a logistics platform connected to Russia's military supply system.

The company has a specific sales division catering to Russian servicemen. Brovdi added that the campaign serves a broader purpose: to make the consequences of Russia's war more tangible for people who might otherwise feel disconnected from it. He emphasized that losing access to Wildberries can have immediate and noticeable effects on everyday life for millions of Russians.

Brovdi likened this disruption to social media restrictions, describing it as a sensitive indicator of personal comfort for a significant portion of the Russian population. He did not provide a specific end date for the campaign, stating that it would continue until the restoration of the damaged Wildberries network becomes impossible.

Additionally, Brovdi warned that Russia is striving to significantly increase its ballistic missile capabilities, including the potential to launch up to 200 missiles in a single salvo.
