Russian strikes have destroyed more than two-fifths of Ukraine's modern warehouse space, according to data reported by the Financial Times and cited by Euromaidan Press.

In total, 2.1 million square meters of warehouse capacity has been destroyed as a result of the strikes. The figure points to an intensifying pattern in Russia's targeting strategy, with increasing attention on the infrastructure Ukraine depends on to store and transport goods.

Shift toward economic infrastructure

The reported scale of destruction suggests Russian strikes are increasingly aimed at facilities supporting the flow of goods within Ukraine's economy, rather than solely military or energy targets. The loss of warehouse capacity on this scale could affect the country's ability to store and move goods, with potential consequences for both domestic supply chains and export capabilities.

The source material does not provide further details on specific strike dates, the regions affected, or the monetary value of the damage.
