Targeting Russia's Amazon to Hurt Civilians | Sydney News

from Sydney News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Ukraine’s launching devastating strikes on Russia’s Wildberries warehouses—its Amazon-like giant—targeting at least 22 sites in a month. While Kyiv claims the platform fuels Putin’s war machine, the real aim is economic warfare: Wildberries drives 2% of Russia’s GDP and owes massive debts to state banks like Sberbank and VTB. Knocking it down could collapse Russia’s financial system. Ukrainian commanders say Russians are “addicted” to Wildberries’ convenience—and they want to break that comfort. Despite Russian denials, the site sells military gear like night-vision goggles. The attacks also wreck small businesses and even cost lives, turning economic disruption into a weapon that brings the war home to ordinary citizens.
