The enemy is targeting Ukrainian enterprises, trying to provoke a shortage of goods.

As a result of a massive missile attack by Russian occupiers on the night of Wednesday, August 5, a number of facilities of large Ukrainian chains in Kyiv and the region were destroyed. Thus, the largest Rozetka warehouse in Brovary was completely destroyed and cannot be restored, reports the co-founder of the marketplace Iryna Chechotkina .

“We opened a distribution warehouse complex in Brovary at the beginning of 2017. It was the largest, most automated. Our pride. Here we processed over 100 thousand orders per day. It is not subject to renewal,” the entrepreneur writes.

She noted that no employees were injured. Despite the losses, Rozetka will continue to operate.

“Today I was supposed to post about Rozetka turning 21. Instead, at night I watched as the work of my whole life burned after three ballistic missiles hit,” Chechotkina reports.

As a result of direct missile strikes, two large Epicentr warehouse complexes and the Epicentr Ceramic Corporation ceramics factory were completely destroyed, the company reported .

“Strategic logistics facilities have been destroyed. One of the largest ceramic tile production facilities in Ukraine has been effectively lost. In Kyiv, the logistics center on Viskozna Street, one of the company’s key logistics facilities, completely burned down. An employee of the company died in the logistics and production complex in Kalynivka. Three more of our colleagues were injured and are in the hospital,” Epicenter said in a statement.

The company plans to partially move production outside Ukraine for security reasons.

“To prevent product shortages and ensure continuity of supplies, production will first be transferred to two of the company’s enterprises abroad. In parallel, we are beginning preparations to launch production at another enterprise in Ukraine. According to preliminary estimates, the full restoration of the destroyed production will require at least a year and a half, and most likely about two years,” Epicenter reports.

As a result of a massive enemy attack, the sorting center of Nova Poshta in Kyiv was destroyed, the postal operator reported .

“The enemy once again committed a war crime against the civilian population by using cluster munitions. As a result of the attack, three people died: two drivers of a partner carrier and one employee of a contracting organization. Eight more people were injured,” Nova Poshta said in a statement.

The assessment of the consequences of the hostile attack is currently ongoing. The company promises to compensate customers for the full declared value of damaged shipments and will contact each one to provide details of the compensation. Novaya Poshta reports that they will continue to work throughout Ukraine.

According to various media outlets, the Novus chain warehouses on Borshchahivka, the Fozzy Group and Silpo chain warehouses, and the greenhouse flower complex were also completely or partially destroyed during the night attack.
