Ukraine minister: Russia has destroyed about 90% of grocery logistics
Russia has destroyed about 90% of retail chains’ warehouses, but Ukrainians will not be left without food, Ukraine’s Agrarian Policy Minister Taras Vysotskyi told reporters, Ukrinform reported.
Ukraine's Agrarian Policy Minister Taras Vysotskyi reported that Russia has destroyed approximately 90% of retail chains' warehouses, but he assured Ukrainians would not face widespread food shortages. Vysotskyi stated that alternative logistics options, such as direct deliveries from producers to retail chains, would ensure food availability.
Over the past month, Russia has targeted warehouses and distribution centers of major grocery chains, including Fora, Varus, Silpo, and NOVUS, with ballistic missiles and drones. The attacks have resulted in significant losses for companies like Rozetka, Epicentr, and Nova Poshta, with some companies facing billions of dollars in damages.
Despite the destruction, Vysotskyi emphasized that basic food products would still be available in stores close to consumers.
