Ukraine Targets Two More Wildberries Logistics Centers Used in Russia’s Supply Chain

Ukraine struck two logistics centers belonging to Russia’s largest online retailer, Wildberries, during overnight drone attacks on July 22, triggering major fires at facilities in Krasnodar and Nevinnomyssk.

According to Russian officials, Wildberries founder Tatyana Kim, and footage shared on social media, the overnight attack sparked major fires at the company’s logistics hubs in Krasnodar and Nevinnomyssk.

The strikes marked the second attack on Wildberries infrastructure in less than a week, following Ukrainian drone strikes on the company’s logistics centers in Elektrostal, near Moscow, and Kotovsk in Russia’s Tambov region.

Ukrainian officials have previously said the facilities were involved in supplying sanctioned components and dual-use goods used by Russia’s defense industry.

According to Wildberries founder Tatyana Kim, the company’s logistics centers in Krasnodar, Krasnodar region, and Nevinnomyssk, Stavropol region, came under attack overnight.

Ukraine Is Taking the War to Russia’s Logistics Network

Videos published by eyewitnesses and Russian Telegram channels showed extensive fires engulfing the logistics complexes. Ukrainian military officials have not formally commented on the operation.

Major Robert Brovdi, commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces (SBS), referenced the strikes in a Telegram post without explicitly claiming responsibility. Brovdi also stated that SBS forces had recorded “+13” successful strikes against targets in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov over the previous 48 hours.

Wildberries, often described as Russia’s equivalent of Amazon, has previously been identified by Ukrainian officials and security analysts as a platform through which Russian military personnel and volunteer organizations procure dual-use electronics, drone components, communications equipment, body armor, and other supplies.

Speaking to the BBC after the previous attacks, Serhii Kuzan, chairman of the Ukrainian Center for Security and Cooperation, described Wildberries as “a vital component” of Russia’s military logistics network and said disrupting its distribution infrastructure could affect the supply of critical dual-use goods to Russia’s defense sector.

The combined Wildberries-Russ (RWB) group was valued by Forbes Russia at approximately $12.6 billion in 2026, making it one of Russia’s largest e-commerce businesses. Analysts cited by the BBC said repeated strikes on major logistics hubs could force Russian retailers to decentralize warehouse operations, increase security spending, and drive up logistics costs across the sector.

The latest attacks follow similar strikes on July 18, when Ukrainian drones targeted Wildberries logistics hubs in Elektrostal, Moscow region, and Kotovsk, Tambov region. Following those attacks, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine had struck “large logistics facilities” used to supply sanctioned components for drone production and navigation equipment.
