TWO-THIRDS OF WILDBERRIES’ MAJOR LOGISTICS SPACE REPORTEDLY BURNED — UKRAINIAN STRIKES ARE DISMANTLING THE NETWORK ACROSS RUSSIA
The destruction at Novaya Usman near Voronezh is only the latest piece of a much larger picture.
A new assessment circulating from Ukrainian OSINT analysts maps the 30 largest Wildberries warehouse and logistics centers in Russia by area, showing just how extensively the company’s distribution network has been hit during Ukraine’s expanding long-range drone campaign.
According to the accompanying assessment of the affected key facilities, approximately 67% of their combined warehouse area has already burned, another 19.5% has been damaged, and only around 13.4% remains undamaged. These percentages are an OSINT assessment rather than independently audited figures from Wildberries, but the map illustrates the extraordinary geographic scale of what has happened.
The affected facilities stretch across an enormous portion of Russia.
Among those shown as burned or struck are major centers around Elektrostal and Vladimir near Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Novaya Usman in Voronezh region, Krasny Bor near St. Petersburg, Zelenodolsk in Tatarstan, Aleksin in Tula region, Novosemeykino in Samara region, Kotovsk in Tambov region, Krasnodar, Penza, Ryazan, Sarapul, Volgograd and even Simferopol in occupied Crimea.
Some of these are enormous.
The facilities highlighted on the map include warehouses ranging from tens of thousands of square meters to complexes covering 150,000–250,000 square meters each. Novaya Usman alone covers roughly 156,000 square meters and ranks among Wildberries’ largest logistics centers.
That is why looking at these attacks individually can obscure what is actually happening.
One burning warehouse is an incident.
A succession of strikes against major hubs across western Russia, the Volga region, the Urals and occupied Crimea begins to look like systematic degradation of an interconnected logistics network.
Wildberries is not simply an online storefront. Its massive fulfillment centers receive merchandise, sort it, store it and redistribute it through regional delivery networks. When one major hub disappears, volume has to be redirected elsewhere. When multiple hubs disappear simultaneously, the surviving network has to absorb that pressure.
That means longer routes, overloaded warehouses, delayed deliveries, additional transportation costs and increasing disruption for businesses that depend upon the system.
And there is another important point visible in this map: distance is providing increasingly little protection.
Ukraine’s long-range strike campaign is no longer concentrated around the border. Facilities hundreds and in some cases well over a thousand kilometers inside Russia have been affected.
The Wildberries story therefore is not really about the warehouse burning tonight outside Voronezh.
It is about all of them combined.
If the OSINT assessment is accurate, roughly 86% of the combined area of the facilities it tracks has now either been burned or damaged.
