According to Ukraine’s agricultural minister, Taras Vysotskyi, recent Russian air attacks have destroyed approximately 90% of food logistics operated by retail chains in Ukraine. This assessment, cited by the Ukrinform agency, underscores the significant impact of Moscow’s intensified strikes on Ukraine’s logistics infrastructure during the fifth year of the conflict. The minister emphasized that despite the extensive damage, Ukrainians will not be left without food, although shortages of fresh produce, sugar, milk products, and other staples have been observed in some Kyiv supermarkets due to attacks on food retailers’ logistics depots.

Russian strikes have targeted a range of economic and civilian targets, including warehouses belonging to Ukraine’s leading supermarket chains, the top postal service, and home-goods stores. Over the past two days, Russia has launched near-continuous jet-powered drone attacks across Ukraine, particularly in the Kyiv region and surrounding areas. These attacks have damaged numerous warehouse premises, destroyed sorting centers of private courier companies like Nova Poshta, and struck major retail outlets such as the Epicenter home-improvement store in Zaporizhzhia and a book retailer’s warehouse in Kyiv region. The cumulative effect of these strikes has caused disruptions in transportation, including delayed trains and stranded passengers, as well as prolonged air-raid alerts in Kyiv, lasting nearly 15 hours on the previous day. Ukrainian officials have characterized the strategy as an attempt to wear down both air defenses and the civilian population. Source
