Losses incurred by the Russian marketplace Wildberries and its sellers due to strikes on warehouse infrastructure could reach nearly $12 billion. Ukrainian attacks have put all of the company’s large warehouses out of commission and disabled about one-third of its total warehouse capacity.
As a reminder, in Russia’s Tver Region, a drone damaged a Wildberries warehouse. The facility is located approximately 150 km from Moscow, and its area, according to preliminary data, was estimated at about 150,000 square meters.
