Ukraine Strikes Disable 20 Wildberries Warehouses, Removing Over One-Fifth of Capacity

Russian Defense Ministry data recorded 822 Ukrainian drones intercepted overnight, with roughly 600 directed at Moscow region targets. The Koledino facility, spanning 250,000 square meters and employing 13,000, was the latest to cease operations. Ukrainian accounts confirm strikes on seven of Wildberries' ten largest hubs, extending a campaign that began targeting e-commerce infrastructure in July.

The attacks have removed more than 1.18 million square meters of warehouse space, or over one-fifth of Wildberries' total capacity. Combined with prior hits on Ozon facilities, these actions affect networks accounting for 8.5 percent of Russian GDP and 4 million jobs. Inventory losses and delivery halts now threaten merchant bankruptcies and localized price increases, prompting consideration of state intervention.

Ukraine's shift to economic logistics targets seeks to impose cumulative costs on Russian commercial operations without direct military engagement. Russia maintains strikes on Ukrainian defense production sites, preserving its own long-range campaign. Primary records show neither side has curtailed the other's strike capacity, with each side documenting damage to the opponent's rear-area assets.

Supply disruptions will likely accelerate Russian government assessments of subsidy requirements for affected retailers within the next quarter. Continued targeting of distribution nodes raises the threshold for Moscow to expand protective measures around non-military economic infrastructure.
