Ukraine Is Burning Down the Russian Amazon Ukrainian long-range drones have hit four major Wildberries warehouses — Russia's biggest online marketplace, often called the "Russian Amazon" — in under a week. Kyiv frames the sites as logistics chains supplying sanctioned components for Russian drone production. Moscow and Wildberries call them ordinary commercial facilities with civilian workers. Around 8 killed and dozens injured across the first wave alone, plus more casualties in the southern strikes. Kim, the CEO, called it a "terrible night" and announced payouts to families of the dead. Sellers on the platform are panicking about inventory losses, especially since Wildberries updated its terms in early July to treat drone strikes as force majeure — excluding liability for lost goods. Targeted sites: 1- Elektrostal, Moscow region Size: ~188,000 m² 2- Kotovsk, Tambov region Size: ~108,000 m² 3- Krasnodar, Krasnodar Krai region Size: ~150,000 m² 4- Nevinnomyssk, Stavropol Krai region Size: ~120,000 m² Total area: ~566,000 m² (Equivalent to around 79 football pitches). Analysts say losses "could reach hundreds of billions of rubles." Western outlets estimate £1–1.5 billion+ so far.
