Ukraine is stepping up long-range drone strikes on Wildberries warehouses deep inside Russia, aiming to squeeze the Russian economy and expose logistics vulnerabilities. The e-commerce giant's vast network of distribution hubs makes its facilities both economically significant and harder to defend than military sites. Recent strikes have damaged multiple locations, disrupting nationwide deliveries and inflicting major losses on sellers and the company itself. Ukrainian officials have linked some Wildberries logistics operations to military supply networks, adding a strategic rationale beyond economic disruption. Analysts note that hitting a brand recognised by millions of ordinary Russians brings the real cost of the war closer to everyday civilian life. The campaign underscores Kyiv's broader strategy of using drone warfare to challenge Russia's economy, logistics infrastructure, and public morale — demonstrating a growing capacity to strike far beyond the front lines. #UkraineDroneStrikes #Wildberries #RussiaUkraineWar #Geopolitics #MilitaryNews #Lykstage #LykstageVideo #LykstageCreator #LykstageCommunity
