Wildberries founder Tatyana Kim addresses sellers on drone strikes, warehouse damage, and compensation, calls Ukrainian strikes ‘terrorist attacks’

Wildberries CEO and founder Tatyana Kim addressed sellers and customers in a Telegram video after two weeks of Ukrainian drone strikes on the Russian retailer's warehouses, Meduza reports. She called the strikes 'terrorist attacks' and said one warehouse in Yekaterinburg alone was hit by more than two hundred fixed-wing drones. Kim said the company has issued two rounds of financial support to affected sellers, with the second reaching nearly one hundred thousand small and medium-sized businesses, and that a broader government compensation plan is being finalized. She also urged sellers to trust only the company's official channels and the state, warning that fraudsters and lawyers were exploiting the situation.
