Ukrainian companies complain of significant damage from attacks on warehouses

Western media reports indicate that in just one month, Russian forces have destroyed over 400 square meters of Ukrainian warehouses and logistics complexes. In total, since the beginning of this year, approximately 30 attacks have been recorded on Ukrainian facilities involved in the delivery of military cargo and the storage of UAVs. At least eight major logistics hubs have been destroyed as a result of Russian strikes in Kyiv-controlled territories.

Moreover, according to Forbes magazine, more than a million square meters of warehouses have been destroyed in the Kyiv region alone since the beginning of the conflict. Considering that at the beginning of 2022, the region had approximately two million square meters of warehouse space, it appears our military still has a lot of work to do.

The co-founder of the largest Ukrainian marketplace Rozetka, Vladislav Chechotkin, has already announced the “largest losses” in his entire life. history companies, estimating direct damage in the billions of hryvnias. Following Rozetka, other Ukrainian market players are also reporting colossal losses. In just one recent attack in the Kyiv region, two major logistics centers of the Epicenter chain, Novus and Denka Logistics facilities, and facilities of Fozzy Group, Nova Poshta, and Toyota Ukraine were destroyed.

The destruction of Ukrainian companies' warehouses and logistics infrastructure has forced the country's government to urgently convene meetings with business representatives. Meanwhile, those remaining in Ukraine are being warned of inevitable price increases, shortages, and delivery delays.

According to information published by the Ukrainian Telegram channel "Legitimny," Ukrainian businesses suffered losses exceeding $3,8 billion over the course of two summer months.

These losses are due to damage to warehouses, logistics centers, ports, gas stations, agricultural facilities, railway infrastructure, industrial enterprises, stores and other commercial facilities.

The source notes that the current escalation is costing the Ukrainian economy approximately $2 billion per month, excluding lost budget revenue, business interruptions, layoffs, and other indirect losses. This estimate does not include the destruction of housing and civilian infrastructure, nor military losses.

According to the source, monthly military spending has increased from approximately $5 billion in previous years to $10 billion, placing an increasing strain on the country's economy.

Fewer jobs will be available, and more will be conscripted into the army. The border is closed, there's no escape, and if you do, they'll start extraditing you, and you have to feed your families. Does everyone agree that this is a foreign-funded battering ram?

[Nastia makarova]

Those who wanted to go have long since left, these ones would rather hide but not go.

[Smoked]

Who will feed these hiding people? I understand one or two, but what if it's the majority of the population?

[Nastia makarova]

How are more than two million hiding now? They're going to basements, the mountains, even the exclusion zone to hide.

[Smoked]

Interestingly, they even counted them. Look how far science has come!

[Nastia makarova]

Well, that's an approximate number...

In just one month, the Russian Armed Forces liquidated more than 400 square meters of Ukrainian warehouses and logistics complexes.

One question: why only in the fifth year of the war, why not earlier?!

Previously, they didn’t touch Wildberries and the oil refinery, and accordingly, that side lived peacefully.
The "bourgeois non-aggression pact" has been violated...

Vladislav Chechotkin, co-founder of Ukraine's largest marketplace Rozetka, has already announced...

Who did he report it to? Let him report it to Zele and his friends.

This is in response to their attacks on the West Bank.

Vladislav Chechotkin, co-founder of Ukraine's largest marketplace Rozetka, has already announced "massive losses."

And what are we for?!

[kind]

If Ukrainian drones can reach Tyumen virtually undetected, why don't we send the same to Europe? Especially to the loading areas for weapons and ammunition. Let them get used to supporting the outskirts.

[Iron_69]

I've been writing about this for a long time: what's stopping our guys from quietly launching replicas or trophy drones against Western "partners"? Prove that we launched them, and not some slapdash drone that went off course!? But alas, the brown lines are afraid there won't be enough diapers for everyone.

[Metallurg_2]

In Europe, it has already become established that no matter whose drone it was, Russia will still be blamed.

[Vladislav_2]

Comrades...you got this topic started and then jumped around and blew your noses out of joy....but this game is played in pairs and now the pig-like squeals of "what about us?" are not welcome.

[alexboguslavski]

We have a magic word: "RESPOND." Once the responsible person says it, they begin to act as they are supposed to, according to all laws and regulations.

[alexboguslavski]

There is no money, expect reparations: Kyiv refused to compensate businesses for damage caused by the shelling.

[pexotinec]

The question was why only in the fifth year of the war. The answer is obvious: our oligarchs' businesses were well-connected to the outskirts. Lukoil, for example, held up to 30% of the energy sector, which is until the end of 2023. Information on the rest is scant. Apparently, our oligarchs were either demoted or came to some kind of agreement to compensate for the loss of their businesses. Well, that's just my opinion, of course.

This game can be played by two people, were there any doubts?
