Losses assessed at Wildberries warehouses after Ukraine strikes: logistics center completely burned

Ukrainian drone attacks on Wildberries logistics centers in Russia's Moscow and Tambov regions have resulted in extensive fires, with estimated losses for the online retail platform and its sellers potentially surpassing 100 billion rubles (approximately $1.28 billion USD).

The largest Wildberries logistics center, located in the Moscow region, was completely destroyed by fire following the drone strikes. Witness footage showed the massive 359,600 square meter facility burning, with firefighting helicopters unable to save the structure. This incident is being compared to a 2024 fire at another Wildberries warehouse in Shushary, which destroyed 105,800 square meters.

Sources close to Wildberries suggest that approximately 10-15% of the company's total warehousing space was affected by the attacks. However, it is anticipated that the platform's overall operations will not be entirely paralyzed. Notably, a new sales contract for Wildberries, effective July 7, 2026, includes a clause stating the company is not responsible for lost goods if they are destroyed during drone attacks.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated on social media that these facilities were used by the Russian military to supply sanctioned parts for the production of drones and navigation equipment. The drone attacks targeted warehouses in Kotovsk (Tambov region) and Elektrostal (Moscow region), causing significant blazes.
