The attacks began on a July weekend and have continued for a month, stretching from Moscow and St. Petersburg, to cities in the south, and eastward to the Ural Mountains. The targets weren’t oil refineries, maritime hubs or arms plants hit by other Ukrainian strikes, but warehouses that bring the convenience of online shopping across the breadth of Russia.
Ukraine’s drones have pummeled the giant depots belonging to Wildberries, Russia’s biggest online retailer, burning billions of dollars’ worth of merchandise and bringing the war home to the broad public.
The attacks on about 20 Wildberries facilities have underlined Kyiv’s ability to strike far and wide inside Russia and posed a new challenge to President Vladimir Putin nearly 4½ years into his full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
They have badly shaken the empire built by Tatyana Kim, the country’s richest female entrepreneur, whose fortune has been estimated at $8.1 billion.
that’s just camping equipment!!11 /s
(but on a serious note, I’m baffled at the audacity of claiming that targeting wildberries by ukraine is the same level of “terrorism” as targeting actual civilians by russia.)
Well, legally it’s (AFAIK) really a grey area. But morally… Especially considering that Russia was targeting Nova Poshta with the same justification for quite some time before the attacks on Wildberries started.
i mean forget the poshta, they are bombing civilians and civil infra (remember last winter)?
but i mean forget them bombing civilians, they massacred civilians in Bucha.
but forget bucha, they invaded a sovereign country.
