Map Shows How Ukraine's Drones Took Out One-Tenth of 'Russia's Amazon'

Newsweek published a map showing Ukrainian drone strikes targeting Wildberries, a major Russian e-commerce company likened to Amazon. At least 12 Wildberries warehouses in Russia and occupied Ukraine have been attacked since July 17, according to the Institute for the Study of War. These strikes caused significant damage, with some incidents resulting in casualties. Kommersant reported that up to 10% of Wildberries' logistics capacity was affected. The attacks mark a shift in Ukraine's strategy, aiming to disrupt Russian supply chains. Wildberries has removed references to the 'special military operation,' while Ukraine claims the warehouses supported military logistics. Russia denies this and accuses Ukraine of attacking civilian infrastructure.
