Six days of Russian strikes push Kyiv residents to consider leaving
Russia has launched strikes almost continuously on Kyiv and surrounding areas for six straight days.
In early August, Ukrainian strikes on Wildberries warehouses led to conspiracy theories about the availability of military supplies on Russian online marketplaces. The marketplaces, Ozon and Wildberries, were still selling goods intended for Russia's military, including body armor, drone components, and body bags. Volunteers supplying the Russian army ordered items ranging from civilian goods like food and clothing to military gear.
Despite the strikes, Ukraine's Defense Ministry continued to target Ozon facilities, with strikes becoming systematic by September 1. By August 22, no targeted strikes had been launched on Ozon.
