Russia is drafting a support package for Wildberries and affected sellers following Ukrainian drone attacks on its warehouses. The proposed measures focus on easing short-term financial burdens for businesses that report damage or destruction of goods, according to reports citing the draft plan.
The package includes deferrals for taxes and insurance payments, instalment plans for businesses whose losses exceed a specified threshold of annual revenue, and a freeze on tax audits. Finance Minister Anton Siluanov is cited as describing the elements of the proposal. The measures are framed as assistance for companies dealing with operational and financial losses tied to the attacks, rather than as sector-wide policy changes.
Across the outlets, coverage is consistent on the core components: tax and insurance-payment deferrals, relief for eligible sellers, and a halt to tax audits. The Kyiv Post adds more detail about the instalment eligibility linked to losses exceeding 5% of annual revenue, while the Moscow Times emphasizes the role of Siluanov and summarizes the measures at a higher level.
