Ukrainian drones struck Wildberries logistics warehouses in Krasnodar and Stavropol region, while 13 more energy facilities were knocked out in occupied Crimea.
Overnight into 22 July, Ukrainian drones struck two logistics centers belonging to Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer — one in Krasnodar, another near Nevinnomyssk in Stavropol region. Both sites caught fire on a large scale, injuring roughly fifteen warehouse workers. Extinguishing the Krasnodar blaze required more than a hundred firefighters and a specialized helicopter. President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the strikes, saying Wildberries helps supply the Russian military with drone components and other equipment. This marks the second such strike on the company's logistics network within a week — an earlier attack on Wildberries warehouses in Moscow and Tambov regions killed eight workers.
At the same time, Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces carried out a separate operation: overnight into 22 July, 13 more energy facilities were struck in temporarily occupied territory, including occupied Crimea. The cumulative total of energy targets hit under the "Crimean Switch Off" campaign since 1 July has now reached 117. Explosions were reported overnight in Yalta, Alushta, Feodosia and other Crimean cities, a fire broke out near a substation in Yalta, and part of the city lost power.
Both operations — the warehouse strikes in Krasnodar region and the energy strikes in Crimea — fit into a broader Ukrainian strategy of systematically pressuring Russian military logistics and infrastructure. For residents of occupied territory, this means power and communication outages; for Russia's military-industrial supply chain, it means rising costs and delays.
Volunteers Support Ukraine follows this news as part of the wider picture of a war that directly shapes daily life for Ukrainians on both sides of the front line and in the rear.
Every such operation brings closer the moment when the aggressor feels the real consequences of its invasion on its own soil and on occupied land. At the same time, Volunteers Support Ukraine continues helping civilians affected by the war in whatever way its available resources allow, because people — not the enemy's infrastructure losses — remain at the center of our attention. We believe sustained pressure on the aggressor's logistics brings closer the day when there is much less news like this to report.
