The ‘Everything for the Armed Forces’ section has disappeared from Wildberries: what has changed following the attacks on the warehouses
This is reported by Informator.ua, citing The Moscow Times.
Military goods remain on sale
Now, when searching for ‘Everything for the Defence’, users see a message stating that the items are out of stock. However, military-grade products can still be found under other categories and via other search queries.
In particular, body armour and protective helmets are listed in the ‘Sport’ section, whilst FPV drones and accessories are in the ‘TV, audio, photography and video equipment’ category. In addition, searches for “SVO goods” or “SVO kit” yield military first-aid kits, walkie-talkies, rucksacks, insignia and flags.
What is known about the attacks on Wildberries’ warehouses
According to the publication, at least ten Wildberries logistics centres have been attacked since mid-July. These include warehouses in Elektrostal, Kotovsk, Kaledino, Krasnodar, Nevinnomyssk, Voronezh, St Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and the temporarily occupied Simferopol.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had previously stated that these logistics facilities were being used to supply the Russian army with drone components, navigation equipment and gear.
Following the attacks, Wildberries founder Tatiana Kim described the strikes on the warehouses as “an act of international terrorism”. According to The Moscow Times, Russia’s Investigative Committee also made a similar assessment.
