Ukrainian drone attacks on Wildberries warehouses

Since July 18, 2026, Ukraine has conducted near-nightly drone attacks on Wildberries warehouses across Russia, damaging or destroying over 1.18 million square meters of storage space, more than a fifth of the company's capacity. At least 13 people have been killed in these attacks. The strikes have disrupted Wildberries' logistics network, causing sales to drop by about 50% for franchise pick-up points and leading to over 3,100 franchised pick-up points being listed for sale. Wildberries, which handles goods and services equivalent to 8.5% of Russia's economy, has made compensation payments to over 97,000 sellers. The attacks have raised concerns about inflation and interest rates, with the Russia — Central Bank of Russia monitoring supply disruptions. Sberbank may increase loan-loss provisions, and the Russia — Kremlin has discussed possible support for Wildberries. Russia has also conducted attacks on warehouses in Kyiv, killing at least 17 people, alleging they stored dual-use goods.
