Russia attacks Roshen production complex in Vinnytsia

On Monday, Russian forces launched an attack on Roshen's production complex in Vinnytsia, Ukraine. The company's statement on their website revealed that the timely activation of their alert system and swift evacuation efforts saved the lives of their workers. In response to the attack, Roshen vehemently denied false claims by Russian propaganda that they were involved in "drone production" or manufacturing military-purpose products.

The company emphasized that its enterprises solely produce confectionery items and that spreading false information cannot justify targeting them.

The attack on Roshen's production complex is not the first time the company has faced aggression. In late August, Russian attack drones targeted the company's logistics center in Kyiv, and earlier in the year, enemy forces destroyed one of Roshen's former offices in the capital. According to Global Growth Insights, Roshen is one of the world's top 20 confectionery companies as of 2025, ranking 13th. The corporation's annual revenue reached $1.5 billion, boasting a compound annual growth rate of 4% in the previous year.

Vinnytsia Confectionery Factory, a private joint-stock company under Roshen's umbrella, posted a net profit of UAH 76.17 million in the first half of 2026, marking an improvement from a net loss of UAH 72.26 million during the same period last year. The factory's revenue increased by 38.9% to UAH 1.933 billion 750 million. Meanwhile, Vinnytsia Dairy Plant Roshen, another private joint-stock company within Roshen, experienced a 4.2% rise in net profit to UAH 194.7 million in the first half of 2026, while its revenue decreased by 4.1% to UAH 2.373 billion 390 million.
