Russian attacks have destroyed 90% of Ukraine's modern commercial warehouses, agriculture minister says
Russian attacks have destroyed about 90% of Ukraine's modern commercial warehouses, Agriculture and Food Minister Taras Vysotskyi said on Aug. 28, while stressing that the destruction does not threaten the country's food supply.
The attacks are nevertheless reshaping Ukraine's retail logistics and could reduce the range of products available in stores, Vysotskyi said. With warehouse infrastructure repeatedly hit, businesses are increasingly relying on direct deliveries from producers rather than storing goods at distribution facilities - a more complicated and expensive model.
Some businesses have relocated their facilities, but Russian attacks have also hit relocated sites, according to the minister.
