Putin’s Economic Trap: Why Ukraine Is Bombing Russia’s Largest Marketplace
from What World Leaders NEED to Know about Russia · host Elvira Bary
Ukraine’s strikes on Wildberries logistics centers may represent a new phase of the war against Russia’s economic infrastructure. In this episode, Elvira Bary explains why Russia’s largest online marketplace matters far beyond retail, how one warehouse fire can destroy the working capital of thousands of businesses, and why Putin’s preference for monopolies created dangerous national chokepoints. The damage can spread from sellers and workers into banks, tax revenue, logistics, and eventually the state budget. Ukraine may not need to destroy Russia’s entire economy. It may only need to create more simultaneous crises than the Kremlin can protect, repair, and finance.
