The attacks began on a July weekend and have continued for a month, stretching from Moscow and St. Petersburg, to cities in the south, and eastward to the Ural Mountains. The targets weren’t oil refineries, maritime hubs or arms plants hit by other Ukrainian strikes, but warehouses that bring the convenience of online shopping across the breadth of Russia.

Ukraine’s drones have pummeled the giant depots belonging to Wildberries, Russia’s biggest online retailer, burning billions of dollars’ worth of merchandise and bringing the war home to the broad public.

The attacks on about 20 Wildberries facilities have underlined Kyiv’s ability to strike far and wide inside Russia and posed a new challenge to President Vladimir Putin nearly 4½ years into his full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

They have badly shaken the empire built by Tatyana Kim, the country’s richest female entrepreneur, whose fortune has been estimated at $8.1 billion.

    Please, continue. You don’t seem to need any input to conjure up conclusions.

    Iran should most definitely get rid of their oppressive leaders and then still condemn the USA for bombing civilians and attacking water infrastructure, among other things. In fact, Iraq and Afghanistan should become secular and enact action upon the us. Legal first, then when the world sees the corruption and status quo being the only thing that matters to the US rally the world to bring down what is arguably the worst experiment in how to propagate religion and Nazism in history.

    I can’t wait for Canada to join the eu so I can work there and go to the border to laugh at Americans

      Uneducated drivel. I also love how you didn’t engage with the Hamas rhetoric because you know it would instantly paint you as a hypocrite.

      There is a loser here, and it’s the guy who wants to “asfalt” Russia and thinks terrorism is based if it’s the Good Guys doing it. You. You’re the loser.

        I will engage to entertain your huge ego. Nobody in their right mind supports Hamas. I am in my right mind. You however, make leaps to illogical and totally unrelated extreme conclusions because you are a bad actor.

        Perhaps not asfalt Russia completely, keep a square meter of Mordor for a cage where you can live out the rest of your pitiful life away from the internet amidst your peers
