1.3M-follower cosmetics founder appeals for tax relief after Wildberries warehouse strikes

Marina Gorshkova, founder of a cosmetics brand with 1.3 million Instagram followers, released a video appealing to Russia’s leadership for help after Ukrainian strikes damaged Wildberries warehouses. She says many sellers have been harmed by fires, losing revenue and taxes, and urges a year-long tax exemption and loan-payment holidays to keep businesses afloat. She also calls for oversight of Wildberries’ seller obligations as she cannot retrieve merchandise. The strikes have hit warehouses across multiple regions and Crimea, and her post drew about 10,000 likes in a day.

Ukraine strikes push Russia’s gasoline crunch into a market squeeze, data shows

Meduza analyzes SPIMEX trading data from January–early July 2026 to quantify Russia’s gasoline shortage driven by Ukrainian strikes on refineries. About 35 refineries are operating of 39 commissioned; strikes damaged primary processing units, sharply reducing delivery-base volumes (e.g., Moscow ~4,400–400 tons/day; Taneco ~56% drop; Norsi ~63%; Kinef ~80%), while overall exchange volumes for gasoline and diesel fell from ~118–150k tons/day early 2026 to ~80k in June and prices rose about 146% from January. Russia has begun importing gasoline (at least 60,000 tons from India) and is tightening export restrictions; the exchange quota was cut from 15% to 10% in July 2026. Repairs are slow due to sanctions and parts shortages, and the crisis shows no immediate end.

Russia faces a worsening gasoline shortage driven by reduced refining and Ukrainian strikes on refineries. Moscow is weighing measures such as allowing Euro-3 gasoline/diesel (lower sulfur), cutting the exchange-sale quota from 15% to 10%, and subsidizing imports through a damper mechanism—steps that could cost the budget billions and affect farmers, airlines, and independent stations as the country searches for portables to stabilize supply while tensions with Ukraine persist.

Ukrainian strikes knock Mariupol port offline and target Russia’s southern logistics network

Ukrainian forces disabled the Russian-occupied port of Mariupol, cutting a key logistics hub used to move military cargo between Donetsk, Crimea and Russia, after strikes on substations, radar and fuel facilities and the sanctioned vessel Lady Augusta. The campaign also destroyed the Chonhar Bridge linking Crimea to occupied Kherson and hit the Cheboksary VNIIR-Progress plant blamed for drone and missile components, part of a broader long-range strike effort. Bulgaria’s new government signaled it will halt arms shipments to Ukraine and call for negotiations, signaling a shift in regional support.
