Belarusian businesses have appealed to the government regarding attacks on Wildberries warehouses in Russia
Belarusian business owners have called on the authorities to urgently intervene following attacks on Wildberries’ logistics warehouses in Russia. Business representatives say that goods from more than 22,000 Belarusian businesses that use the company’s infrastructure are at risk.
The Minsk Capital Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers sent a letter to the Belarusian Ministry of Economy proposing to hold an urgent working meeting to find solutions to protect the interests of Belarusian sellers.
In a letter addressed to Deputy Minister of Economy Ivan Vezhnovets, the entrepreneurs proposed developing a joint action plan to minimize risks for companies whose products are stored in Wildberries’ Russian warehouses.
According to the business association’s estimates, more than 22,000 Belarusian companies use the marketplace’s logistics network in Russia. In the event of loss or damage to goods, this could result in significant financial losses for both individual companies and the country’s economy as a whole.
Business representatives point out that Belarusian sellers enter into contracts with the Belarus-registered company IMVBRB but do not have direct contractual relationships with the owners of the Russian warehouses.
As a result, entrepreneurs are effectively unable to control the conditions under which their products are stored or demand guarantees of their safety after the goods are transferred to the marketplace.
A particular concern is the possibility of receiving compensation in the event of lost goods.
Business owners emphasize that fires and other incidents on Russian territory should not automatically be recognized as force majeure circumstances that exempt those responsible from compensating for losses.
According to the business community, since mid-July, several Wildberries logistics warehouses in Russia have come under attack, which prompted an appeal to the government demanding the development of mechanisms to protect the interests of Belarusian companies.
On the night of August 4, 2026, drones attacked the distribution center of “Lenta,” one of Russia’s largest supermarket chains, in the Leningrad Region. A fire broke out at the facility following the strike, and operations at the receiving warehouse were temporarily suspended.
Russian forces in the Lyman sector are attempting to destroy crossings with drone strikes and aerial bombs.
As of August 4, 2026, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine released updated data on Russian troop losses. Over the past day, Ukrainian defenders eliminated 1,240 occupiers.
On July 30, Robert Brovdi (“Madyar”), commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces, reported on the latest combat results of Ukrainian units.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported the destruction of a Russian export terminal and military facilities.
