Because of the AFU attack on Wildberries warehouses, sellers may have lost at least 150 billion rubles

Because of the AFU attack on Wildberries warehouses, sellers may have lost at least 150 billion rubles, five times more than the marketplace itself. If Wildberries fully compensated the damage, it would spend its entire annual profit on it

On the night of July 18, Ukraine attacked two warehouses of Russia’s largest marketplace, Wildberries, citing the fact that drone components were stored there. As a result, 8 people were killed and more than 80 others were injured. The amount of damage inflicted on the warehouses and the goods stored there is still unknown, and it will take at least a month to calculate it. However, Forbes (and before that Kommersant and Vedomosti), with the help of experts, tried to estimate how much Wildberries and its sellers may have lost. The conclusion is this: the sellers’ losses are much greater than the marketplace’s own losses, and the chances of obtaining full compensation from the platform are minimal.
