The economic impact of Ukraine’s strikes on Wildberries
The entire Russian economy is starting to feel the effects of Ukraine’s drone strikes on logistics infrastructure belonging to Wildberries — the country’s biggest marketplace.
On August 10, Ukraine's military intelligence reported that Russia's missile production had exceeded monthly targets. Ukrainian forces targeted a Russian petrochemical plant located more than 2,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. Russia claimed Ukrainian forces intercepted 456 drones overnight, and Moscow stated that its air defenses intercepted the same number.
Ukraine's military intelligence also revealed that Russia had accelerated the deployment of its Rassvet satellite communications system, which functions similarly to Starlink. Moscow aimed to launch 292 satellites by 2027 and expand the constellation to 924 by 2035. Ukraine is currently exploring ways to counter this system. Russia's monthly production of key missiles was 10-20% higher than planned, with some models surpassing targets.
