Ukrainian drone strikes since July 18 have damaged roughly 10% of Wildberries' logistics network, hitting facilities across Moscow, St Petersburg, Krasnodar, Stavropol, Yekaterinburg and Crimea, the e-commerce giant's founder Tatyana Kim confirmed.
The campaign intensified Tuesday as 390 drones flew toward the Moscow region, sparking a blaze at a 3PL warehouse in Koledino and forcing restrictions at Vnukovo, Domodedovo and Zhukovsky airports. Wildberries and rival Ozon together account for about 8.5% of Russian GDP, underlining the economic stakes.
The disruption has prompted prominent seller Marina Gorshkova to urge authorities for a one-year tax holiday and credit moratorium for marketplace vendors, after she paid 45 million rubles in taxes on Wildberries sales over 18 months.
