Ukraine Says Drone Strikes Disabled 7 of 10 Largest Wildberries Warehouses
The attacks have damaged or destroyed goods worth 480 billion rubles and cut about one-third of the company’s warehouse capacity, analysts said.
- On Sunday, August 16, 2026, Ukrainian drone strikes disabled major logistics centers belonging to Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries, with facilities in Koledino and Domodedovo near Moscow ceasing operations.
- The Ukrainian Defense Ministry reported that seven of the company's ten largest logistics centers are now out of operation following a sustained campaign that began mid-July across multiple Russian regions.
- Data Insight analysts estimate destroyed or damaged goods are worth 480 billion rubles , disrupting a network that accounts for approximately 10% of Russian retail sales.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy argued that warehouses serve as military logistics hubs distributing navigation systems and drone components for the Russian army, justifying the strikes as legitimate military targets.
- Wildberries co-founder Tatyana Kim condemned the strikes as "terrorist attacks," while the company's potential need for state financial support has sparked fears of a "wave of bankruptcies" across Russia's e-commerce sector.
