- Ukraine has launched repeated drone strikes against Wildberries, Russia's major e-commerce retailer, in a strategy framed by outlets as "bringing the war home" to Russian territory.
- A Wildberries warehouse near Moscow was set ablaze in a recent Ukrainian drone strike, according to the cited headlines.
Why it matters: Wildberries functions as Russia's dominant online marketplace, so successful strikes on its logistics infrastructure deliver economic and psychological disruption that reaches ordinary Russian consumers, not just military targets. By repeatedly hitting the same civilian-facing company, Kyiv signals that its drone campaign can hit routine commerce — shifting the war's pressure onto daily Russian life.
