Moscow faces fuel shortages and war fatigue as Ukraine conflict drags on

Ukraine's strikes on Wildberries warehouses, oil terminal deepen Moscow's fuel strain

The Moscow TimesKyiv has escalated its campaign against Wildberries, Russia's dominant e-commerce and logistics network, with warehouse strikes over the past two weeks destroying roughly 10% of the company's storage capacity. A separate drone strike forced a halt at the Novorossiysk oil terminal, one of Russia's key Black Sea export points, compounding fuel-distribution problems inside the country. The dual hits on logistics and energy infrastructure suggest a deliberate Ukrainian strategy to squeeze civilian-facing supply chains rather than only front-line military targets. It's unclear how long the Novorossiysk halt or the Wildberries damage will take to resolve.
