Ukrainian Drones Damage About 8% of Wildberries Warehouses in Russia
Between July 18 and 23, Ukrainian Defense Forces damaged approximately 8% of Wildberries' warehouse buildings in Russia, hitting logistics centers and increasing economic pressure on Russia.
According to Russian media reports, Ukrainian strikes from July 18 to 23 caused significant damage to several Wildberries logistics centers. Warehouses in Elektrostal (250,000 sq m), Krasnodar (150,000 sq m), and Nevinnomysk (120,000 sq m) were nearly completely destroyed. Facilities in Kotovsk and Voronezh, each 100,000 sq m, sustained partial damage.
Russian officials estimate that restoring the warehouses will cost at least 35.5 billion rubles (about 390 million euros), with the final amount depending on the extent of damage to the Voronezh facility. Voronezh Oblast Governor Alexander Gusev confirmed roof damage but did not specify the warehouse's name.
Ukrainian forces deliberately target Wildberries warehouses because they are used to supply Russia's military-industrial complex. Total losses for sellers following the attacks in Krasnodar and Nevinnomysk could reach 120 billion rubles (1.3 billion euros).
