Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries said on Friday (July 24) that three more of its warehouses had been attacked by Ukraine overnight, part of a widening campaign by Kyiv to damage Russia's economy and logistics chains and force it to come to the peace negotiation table.

Wildberries' founder Tatyana Kim said the latest attacks had targeted warehouses in St Petersburg, in the surrounding Leningrad region and in Simferopol, and they managed to save some of the premises and goods.

Eight Wildberries warehouses, accounting for over 10% of the company's logistics capacity, have now been attacked since July 18 when the first attack killed eight workers.

00:33All the boxes are in the house.
00:43We buy the house, we buy the house, we love to buy the house,
00:46very quality quality.
00:48And we have some kind of things,
00:51all the women's clothes in the house.
00:53We go every day.
00:55In the case with all these fires on the shelves, do you have all of this нормально?
01:01Very, very. Every day there is a delivery, but for us it is not reflected.
01:05Well, that's for home I always buy. I always buy toilet paper,
01:09toilet paper, jizziness, everything that is for хозяйства,
01:14всякие тряпки, для мытья окон, for everything else.
01:17With Wildberries and Ozon, when I heard about the fire, I immediately went to Ozon.
01:20In Wildberries, I never bought anything yet.
01:22I bought one for the time.
01:24Some things, some things, some things on the windows, sometimes some equipment,
01:29something else, something that you can choose, to choose, to choose.
01:33So, not to go where to go to professional shops.
01:37Most of the time, the Wildberries, but the wife constantly,
01:40she always buys everything from there, so in her case, it is almost every week.
01:45In this sense, Wildberries, it's a little bit of a reward.
01:48They think that they have a return of funds, a payment after the purchase, and so on.
01:52In this case, it's a little bit more calm.
01:53It's still a bit of a moment.
01:57So, what do we do?
01:59If they're burning, they'll take it.
02:05I don't have any optimism in this situation.
02:09There are contacts.
02:12It's always positive.
02:13It's always positive.
02:15But to speak about a new dynamic or a new acceleration, it's not possible.
02:20We continue our dialogue with the Americans.
02:27And we hope that when the American conversation will be free,
02:35we will continue an ongoing conversation.
02:38They will come to Moscow and continue our dialogue.
02:46I mean, you think we settled the war in Ukraine in our 30 minutes in there, here in Asia?
02:53That's not the way it works.
02:54Look, we had a good conversation, a frank conversation.
02:57I'm not going to tell you what we talked about,
02:58because this diplomacy doesn't work well when you run to the microphones afterwards.
03:02Suffice it to say, I'll tell you what I told you yesterday.
03:03The United States, the President's been clear that we want, if we can, we are prepared to play a constructive
03:08role in bringing about an end to a senseless war.
03:10And we're ready to do that.
03:12And we, of course, expressed that.
03:14And we've expressed it in other means.
03:15So we talked about other things as well.
03:17The Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying that Mr. Lavov told you or asked you or said to you
03:24that the U.S. needs to stop arming Ukraine.
03:28What was your reaction?
03:29And there's a statement.
03:30They said that.
03:31Yeah, I know.
03:32I mean, I don't know what their statement said.
03:33I know what happened in our meeting.
03:34Yeah, but what did you say?
03:36Well, first of all, the U.S. position on it is we sell arms.
03:39We sell arms via Pearl, which is an initiative we have through NATO.
03:44And that's what we're involved in.
03:45There's been no change to our policy in that regard.
03:47We want a peace deal.
03:48We want the war to end.
03:49We're prepared to play whatever positive role we can to end the war.
03:52And in order to end this war, we'll require something that both Russia and Ukraine can agree to.
03:58That one.
