Video: Zelenskyy Explained the Importance of the Strike on Wildberries' Warehouses
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the strikes on the Russian logistics center Wildberries on July 18. He added that this hub was being used to supply components for UAVs.
“Today, our long-range strikes targeted three areas on Russian territory, as well as on our temporarily occupied land and at sea. In particular, in response to Russian strikes on our civilian infrastructure, two major logistics facilities in the Moscow and Tambov regions—located more than 500 and about 700 kilometers from the front line—were struck in our cities and communities. These facilities were used by the aggressor to supply sanctioned components for the production of drones and navigation equipment. An oil facility was also struck. In addition, Ukrainian medium-range strikes targeted locations in the waters of the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea, as well as in our temporarily occupied Crimea,” Zelenskyy wrote.
As a reminder, the Moscow region was engulfed in a cloud of smoke from burning Wildberries warehouses and an oil depot.
On the night of July 18, Ukrainian drones attacked the Russian Wildberries logistics center in Elektrostal, near Moscow, and in the Tomsk region.
On July 18, Ukrainian drones struck 13 Russian ships in the Azov and Black Seas.
