Wildberries, Russia’s largest online marketplace, is looking for warehouse premises in Kazakhstan following Ukrainian drone strikes that affect parts of its logistics network in Russia. Multiple reports say the company is assessing new storage locations to reduce vulnerability and maintain supply operations as attacks continue. One outlet reports that Wildberries is seeking up to about 100,000 square meters of warehousing capacity in Kazakhstan, indicating a sizeable shift toward securing an alternative part of its supply chain.
Separately, Reuters—reported by The Moscow Times—states that Russian authorities are exploring potential state support measures for Wildberries and other businesses operating on the platform. The discussion of assistance is linked to the impact of the drone strikes on logistics and related activities. Together, the reporting frames the Kazakhstan warehouse search as a response to disruptions in Russia, while the government’s interest centers on possible support for the company and participating sellers.
No source provides details on the final outcome of the warehouse search or the specific form of state support.
