Episode Details

Ukraine’s drone strikes on Russia’s Wildberries—its Amazon-like giant—are crippling the economy and morale, targeting warehouses worth billions and threatening Tatyana Kim’s empire. With up to 800,000 sellers reliant on the platform, attacks are disrupting supply chains, straining banks, and fueling public discontent. Though Russia denies selling military gear, items like flak jackets appear on shelves, bringing the war home to ordinary Russians. Experts warn 20% of warehouse space could be destroyed, costing up to $6 billion. While Wildberries scrambles to build new hubs, it’s only offering a fraction of compensation to affected vendors, deepening financial strain and potentially stoking either anger or anti-Western sentiment.
