Desperate to blunt the threat posed by Ukrainian drone attacks, the operator of Wildberries, Russia’s leading e-commerce platform, is looking to lease warehouse space in neighboring Kazakhstan. Wildberries representatives deny any connection to the warfare in Ukraine. Wildberries representatives told Kommersant that the company is building a 100,000 square meter facility near Almaty and another facility of 160,000 square meters near Astana. While warehousing goods in Kazakhstan would likely shield the company’s facilities from Ukrainian drone attacks, it could pose other difficulties for Wildberries’ efforts to quickly and efficiently deliver goods. Kazakhstan and Russia are both members of the Eurasian Economic Union, which, in theory, facilitates free trade between the two countries.
