My conspiracy theory, for which I have no evidence, about the warehouse strikes:

Ukraine has intelligence showing Russia intends to do a widespread mobilization after the September elections. Wildberries is already able to procure a good range of military equipment at acceptable prices and has infinitely better logistics than Russian army, in addition to being not insanely corrupt and inefficient; who better for outsourcing (big chunks of) procurement? So, Ukraine decided to address the problem proactively, which helps in the short term (online retail is already an important source of war materiel) and makes a future mobilization logistically harder. Plus, you know, the discontent might make the population less compliant when the time comes to enter the grinder.

The voices in my head have mentioned that the Fedorov situation is also related, though they've vague about how.

I see more flames for this list in the near future... and probably for these too

if I worked in number 5, I'd be calling in sick as much as possible.

I've been seeing these posts, and I even saw some on Bluesky, where everyone is talking about wildberry warehouses being hit. They even showed video of these warehouses on fire.

I have only only one question.

What are "wildberries" in this context?

A total storage area of 2 315 000 m². Ukraine burned down over one third of that storage area (the five locations represent 34% of that area). Reduction by one third of capacity after a few drone drives is really, really efficient. Cost/price ratio from heaven.

And if it even saves one live in Ukraine it's worth much more than just numbers. Carry on, Ukrainian friends, carry on.

Keep up the good work! 🔥

Nice

Halfway there!

12 too many.

I wish we could bomb a datacenter like that haha.
