The bombing of the Russian Amazon puts Putin in a tight spot

Volodymyr Zelensky is maximizing the impact of his surgical strikes on Russia. In recent weeks, the Ukrainian president's army has sent its drones against Wildberries' warehouses, the country's largest online retailer. After more than 20 such attacks, the direct economic impact of the offensive — estimated by the Russian media at between €1.7 billion and €3.5 billion — may seem limited.

But the damage will soon affect the nearly 100,000 sellers who depend on Wildberries to make a living, forcing the Kremlin to choose between unpleasant alternatives.
