Wildberries is Russia's equivalent of Amazon.

Ukraine has apparently hit 7 of the 10 largest Wildberries hubs. This latest hit was on the hub for Moscow.

What's the rationale behind this? Is Wildberries hiding military hardware and munitions in its warehouses?

It’s providing logistical support. You could go to their website and order items for the “special police operation “.

It’s also a juicy target from an economical perspective. They are going to need a ton of financial support to keep operating.

I imagine they want the people of Russia to feel the economic pain of the war, and vote/protest accordingly.

That rarely works. Russia has been pounding Ukraine yet the Ukrainians are as defiant as ever.

That sort of is the strategy. Ukraine says they pick targets in Moscow and St. Petersburg that hurt Russia's elites. The trouble is that Russia's elites have little influence over Putin. He crushed that a decade ago.

The battlefront in Ukraine has been stuck for a year. People are dying, but nobody is winning. The front lines don't move much. Nobody really knows what to do. It's very WWI.
