> As Ukraine’s strikes on Russian oil infrastructure and e-commerce giants Wildberries and Ozon draw global attention, Russia is intensifying attacks on Ukraine’s economic infrastructure. Missiles and drones have hit postal services, supermarkets, factories, warehouses, fuel stations, ports, civilian vessels and railways, disrupting exports, causing fuel shortages and forcing businesses to absorb losses. The National Bank estimates the damage could reduce GDP by 0.9% this year.
