Ukrainian drone strikes on Wildberries warehouses

Since July 18, 2026, Ukraine has conducted a sustained long-range drone campaign against warehouses and logistics centers of Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, across Russia and occupied Ukraine — Crimea. The strikes have hit at least 20 facilities, destroying over a fifth of Wildberries' storage capacity and causing an estimated $2-3.5 billion in losses for sellers. At least 13 people have been killed. Ukraine says the attacks aim to disrupt Russia's military supply chain and bring the war home to Russians, while Russia condemns them as terrorism. The strikes have disrupted Russia's e-commerce sector, which handles about 8.5% of GDP, and have prompted the Russian government to explore support measures, including loans and tax breaks, for Wildberries and affected sellers. Wildberries has begun compensating sellers and offering discounts, but many small businesses face bankruptcy. The campaign has also affected VTB Bank, which holds a stake in Wildberries' banking arm, and has raised concerns about inflation and interest rates in Russia.
