Desperate sellers feel the war: Russian 'Amazon' refuses compensation after attack

Recent Ukrainian strikes targeting the largest Russian online retailer, Wildberries, have inflicted further pressure on the country's logistics and the psychological state of its workforce. Attacks on warehouses in Elektrostal, Moscow region, and Kotovsk, Tambov region, have exacerbated existing challenges.

Following the strikes, employees have come forward with allegations that company managers allegedly prevented them from leaving the buildings during the assaults. This raises serious concerns about worker safety and the company's response protocols during emergencies.

Meanwhile, sellers using the Wildberries platform are expressing significant dissatisfaction. They report that the company is disclaiming responsibility, stating it is not obligated to provide any compensation for the losses incurred due to the attacks. This stance has left many sellers feeling abandoned and financially vulnerable.
