Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has disclosed that Ukraine’s strikes on the Russian company Wildberries are a calculated response to Russian logistics operations. He noted that these attacks were aimed at disrupting the supply of military goods and reducing substantial financial inflows to Russia.
“This operation has been very well-calculated on our part. Their logistical strikes prompted us to respond in kind. However, we are targeting them with a clear understanding of the magnitude of their losses,” Zelensky stated.
He mentioned that the direct losses for Russia amount to approximately 1 trillion rubles (about 541 billion UAH).
