Metro warned Ukrainians of supply disruptions following the Russian attack

The Metro Ukraine supermarket chain reported the loss of part of its inventory as a result of a massive Russian attack on the night of August 19–20.

The company noted that it is already restructuring its supply chains to minimize the impact on customers and partners.

At the same time, stores may experience temporary shortages of certain items in the near future, as well as changes in delivery times.

On August 24, Russian troops launched a massive attack on Odesa; as a result of the strikes, two “Epicenter” hypermarkets caught fire. Warehouses, energy infrastructure, and private homes were also damaged.

In Zaporizhzhia on August 12, firefighters extinguished a fire at the “Epicenter” shopping center that was caused by a strike from Russian drones. Firefighters battled the blaze at the site for an extended period following the attack.
