A Zioneer analysis argues that the main goal of the destruction of Wildberries warehouses in St. Petersburg is to bring the war to the Russian public and break its apathy. The analysis notes that Russians are accustomed to absorbing losses, which encourages the authorities to pursue military adventures.
The Zioneer published an analysis Friday afternoon examining the destruction of Wildberries warehouses in St. Petersburg. The analysis argues that the primary goal of the destruction is to bring the war to the Russian public and break its apathy, noting that the Russian public has been coping with cost-of-living increases by purchasing cheap Chinese goods via Wildberries. The destruction of the warehouses deals a severe blow to merchants and consumers. The analysis further contends that Russian society's willingness to absorb heavy losses encourages the government to pursue unnecessary military adventures. The analysis did not identify the perpetrator of the destruction.
