MOSCOW, July 21 (Reuters) - Online retailer Wildberries, Russia's answer to Amazon, and the merchants who trade through it are grappling with losses in the wake of Ukrainian attacks on warehouses operated by the retailer, the Kremlin said ‌on Tuesday. The strikes killed ‌eight workers, sparked fires and disrupted operations at Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, which can handle over 20 million orders per day.

Peskov said the government was in touch ‌with Wildberries in connection with the attacks and was ​helping deal with issues. Others discussed why Ukraine had targeted Wildberries.
