Russia is considering a support package including loan-payment holidays, subsidised loans, and tax breaks for sellers affected by Ukrainian drone strikes on Wildberries' warehouses, which have caused significant losses and operational disruptions.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of E-commerce.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face an urgent need to reassess risk and logistics if you sell through platforms exposed to conflict zones like Wildberries. Government aid may ease repayment burdens briefly but expect increased supply chain disruptions and shifting operating costs.
