Estonian intelligence has estimated Russia's losses from the attacks on Wildberries at $2 billion
Strikes by the Ukrainian Defense Forces on warehouses belonging to the Russian e-commerce platform Wildberries may have caused Russia up to $2 billion in direct economic losses. This estimate was provided by the Estonian Defense Forces Intelligence Center.
According to intelligence reports, Ukrainian drones have recently attacked Wildberries’ logistics facilities in the Moscow and Tambov regions, as well as in the Krasnodar and Stavropol territories. Estonian officials note that the marketplace is actively used to supply the Russian military, particularly for the procurement of equipment, drones, and spare parts.
The report also emphasizes that the strikes not only cause direct financial losses but also worsen the business climate in Russia. In particular, the business activity index calculated by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation fell in July to its lowest level since mid-2022.
In addition, Estonian intelligence reports that Ukraine is carrying out systematic strikes against Russian logistics in the Azov and Black Seas, which are complicating troop resupply and negatively impacting Russia’s export capabilities.

The Russian marketplace Wildberries, which has recently come under attack by Ukrainian drones, has effectively become a platform where goods that can be used in the war are openly sold. The platform openly sells components for FPV drones, munition delivery systems, thermal imaging equipment, body armor, and other tactical gear.
St. Petersburg was attacked by drones, and Wildberries warehouses were set on fire.
