Ukrainians "are covering up their true motives and accusing us of allegedly selling military goods," she said. "But you can visit any global marketplace β€” Amazon or Alibaba β€” and see for yourself whether we have anything they don't."

Even giving her the benefit of the doubt, this only tells me that Amazon and Alibaba warehouses are also legitimate military targets; it doesn’t tell me that Wildberries is innocent.

You also don't really have to put everything you sell on a public website. Pretty sure the military isn't just going to amazon.ru to look for their missing drone parts.

Yaaaawwnnnn. Blow up more of their economy

Kind of hard to argue you are not a legitimate target when the warehouses have significant anti-air defense systems.

I can understand saying they're not liable for losses due to force majeure, but I'm surprised she directly said people should wait for the Russian government to do something. Maybe there's something in the works or I'm reading too much into it, but that seems a bit like actually placing the blame where it belongs.

From what I've read, there seems to be a lot of anger among Russians at their government for slow-walking the war and trying to compromise with the west. Also this is an election year so everyone will be pressuring the government to do stuff they want.

election year

lmao, also noone is pressuring m*scovian government to do anything they can literally assign gas chamber lottery and the winners would go to die there without complaints.

Despite the steep economic costs and steady barrage of strikes, Kim maintained that her company was doing everything possible to secure its facilities, products, workers, and customers.

"Unfortunately, 'everything possible' turns out to be nothing at all, but we're all very busy doing as much of that as we can to resolve the situation"
