Russo-Ukrainian war, day 1634: Ukrainian hackers hobble Russia’s biggest marketplace, missiles reach Samara
Meanwhile, Kyiv is also racing to defend an industrial pillar at home, as new EU quotas threaten to idle half of Zaporizhstal's steelmaking capacity.
On day 1634 of the Russo-Ukrainian war, Ukrainian hackers targeted Russia's largest marketplace, Wildberries, disrupting its payment and customer-service systems. This dual campaign against Russia's main marketplace comes as Russia's Starlink service is down, following the loss of battlefield communications early in the conflict.
The strike against Samara, an industrial area 900 kilometers from Ukraine, hit a factory that builds rockets for Russia's Starlink rival. A Russian soldier described a harrowing 28-kilometer crawl, during which most of his group was killed before reaching Ukrainian lines. Meanwhile, Ukraine's Zaporizhstal plant may idle half its capacity to meet new EU steel quotas, and the EU halved tariff-free steel quotas in July, taxing the remainder at 50%.
