Russian warehouse strikes won't cause food or medicine shortages, logistics expert says
Russian strikes on warehouse infrastructure will not lead to shortages of food and medicine in Ukraine, though logistics costs and prices could rise, Valeriy Baranovskiy, director and co-founder of Berger Cargo, said in an interview with NV Business on Sept. 22.
Valeriy Baranovskiy, director and co-founder of Ukrainian logistics firm Berger Cargo, stated on September 22 that Russian attacks on warehouse infrastructure will not result in food or medicine shortages in Ukraine. However, he anticipates that logistics costs and prices might increase due to factors such as extended distances and higher transport expenses.
Baranovskiy expressed confidence that grocery stores will continue to function and adapt their logistics, ensuring product availability despite potential price fluctuations. Similarly, he assured that pharmaceutical warehouses would also remain operational, although delivery routes might be altered. Despite these measures, logistics costs could rise by approximately 10%.
Despite the losses incurred by major companies following Russian strikes, Baranovskiy emphasized that food prices would likely rise but not dramatically.
