Ukraine's attacks on the sprawling Russian warehouses have produced stark images, with massive pillars of smoke rising above fires that raged at facilities of Wildberries, the country's biggest online retailer and its equivalent of Amazon.
Kyiv's drones first hit the sites in Elektrostal, just east of Moscow, and in the Tambov region July 18.
An estimated 500,000 to 800,000 sellers are involved with Wildberries, said Sergei Semko of Data Insight, a Moscow-based company that analyzes online retail in Russia.
Wildberries accounts for 52% of all online orders in Russia, he told The Associated Press.
Kyiv says the facilities supplied Russia's militaryWhile Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy did not name Wildberries directly, he has said the attacked facilities were involved in supplying gear and technical components to Russia's military.
