Wildberries Hit Again: Ukraine Strikes Russia's Largest Retailer Twice in 5 Days | Ben Hodges

Ukraine has struck warehouses belonging to Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, twice in five days—killing 9 and injuring 76 according to Russian officials. But these weren't ordinary civilian targets. In this video, I break down why Ukraine claims these logistics hubs were supplying the Russian military with drone components, body armor, and navigation gear, and what this means for the evolution of long-range strike warfare. We'll cover: – Timeline of the strikes in Tambov, Elektrostal, Krasnodar, and Nevinnomyssk – The evidence that Wildberries warehouses handle dual-use and military goods – Legal and strategic implications of targeting civilian infrastructure used for military logistics – Russia's likely response options and second-order economic effects – Five indicators to watch in the coming days Disclaimer: This is independent analysis based on publicly available reporting, including BBC, open-source intelligence, and official statements.
