Ukrainian Armed Forces Vs. Ozon: Initial Results Of The Operation Announced
- 23.08.2026, 13:48
Ukraine has taken more than 2% of the marketplace's warehouses out of service.
On Sunday, Ukrainian drones attacked the warehouse of the Russian marketplace Ozon for the second time in two day a warehouse belonging to the Russian marketplace Ozon. As with Wildberries, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are targeting major regional centers. Two strikes put more than 2% of the company’s warehouse space out of commission, according to an analysis by “The Agency”.
Debris from a downed drone fell on Ozon’s logistics complex in Orenburg, Governor Yevgeny Solntsev reported. He also said that another facility was damaged. Ozon, as the official wrote, “has suspended operations and is not accepting orders in the region.”
“After Ukrainian forces struck 15 of Wildberries’ largest logistics hubs, it was Ozon’s turn,” the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense reported on Sunday.
Also, on Saturday night, a fire broke out at a large warehouse in St. Petersburg covering an area of 82,000 square meters. The facility is located 350 meters from the Ozon warehouse in Shushary. The cause of the fire is unknown: there were no reports of drone attacks on St. Petersburg or the Leningrad Region on Saturday night.
As of the end of 2025, Ozon’s logistics infrastructure included 50 fulfillment centers (warehouses that handle the full cycle of goods and order processing) and more than 150 delivery hubs in key regions of the country. The company’s total warehouse space exceeds 5 million square meters.
According to the company’s corporate website, the floor area of Ozon’s warehouses in Orenburg that were commissioned during the first phase was 40,000 square meters.
By early 2025, the company planned to double that area. The floor area of the warehouse in Chapaevsk, Samara Region, that was attacked on Saturday is at least 76,000 square meters. Once all phases were completed, its total area was expected to reach 135,000 square meters. Both warehouses are among Ozon’s top 30 facilities.
If we consider only the confirmed area of the two warehouses—approximately 120,000 square meters—it follows that the first two strikes put more than 2% of the company’s warehouse space out of commission.
Ozon’s top 10 warehouses. The company itself does not publish this list. Based on the company’s statements regarding the commissioning of Ozon’s facilities, the top ten largest include:
Pushkino in the Moscow Region (over 150,000 square meters);
Kryukovo in the Yaroslavl Region (117,000 square meters);
Aleksandrovka in the Voronezh Region (about 110,000 square meters);
Perm (over 100,000 square meters);
Khorugvino in the Moscow Region (93,000 square meters);
Zelenodolsk in Tatarstan (84,000 square meters);
Rostov Oblast (about 80,000 square meters);
Grivna in the Moscow Region (about 80,000 square meters);
Novosibirsk (about 80,000 square meters);
Sofyina in the Moscow Region (over 76,000 square meters).
A series of strikes against Wildberries warehouses began in late July with attacks on logistics complexes in Elektrostal, Moscow Region, and Kotovsk, Tambov Region. Both warehouses were among the ten largest such facilities in the company’s infrastructure, and the warehouse in Elektrostal tied for first place in terms of area with the complex in Koledino, which also suffered a massive fire following an attack last Sunday.
Analysts estimate that the damage to the marketplace and sellers from the strikes on the warehouses could exceed 800 billion rubles. Against this backdrop, Vladimir Putin stated on Wednesday that warehouse facilities damaged by Ukrainian Armed Forces strikes require restoration with state involvement. However, later, Minister of Construction and Housing and Utilities Irek Faizullin said that the government had not been tasked with helping marketplaces restore their warehouses following the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ attacks.
