Ukraine continues strikes on Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries' warehouses

Ukraine is continuing to strike warehouses and logistics hubs run by Russia's Wildberries, saying they support Moscow's war effort, while recent attacks on Ukraine have killed several people.

Ukraine continues to carry out strikes on warehouses and logistics hubs operated in Russia by Wildberries, a major online retailer. Kyiv says these facilities are used to support Russia's war effort against Ukraine, and it therefore considers them legitimate targets.

Wildberries as a target

Wildberries is one of Russia's largest e-commerce companies, with an extensive network of warehouses and distribution centers across the country. According to Ukraine, part of this infrastructure is being used in ways connected to Russia's military needs, which Kyiv cites as justification for continuing to strike these sites. Further details on exactly how the company's warehouses are being used for war purposes were not specified in the report.

Casualties in Ukraine

At the same time, several people were reported killed in recent attacks on Ukraine. Further details about the location, circumstances, or number of casualties were not immediately available.

The two developments point to fighting between Russia and Ukraine continuing on multiple fronts simultaneously — with strikes on infrastructure seen as militarily significant on one side, and attacks that have caused civilian casualties on the other. Ukraine's decision to target facilities belonging to a large commercial operator like Wildberries reflects a broader strategy of weakening segments of Russia's economy that, in Kyiv's assessment, directly or indirectly strengthen Moscow's ability to sustain the war.
