Ukraine Says Russia Has Destroyed 90% of Modern Storage Facilities but Food Supply Holds
Ukraine’s infrastructure minister says Russia has destroyed 90% of the country’s modern storage facilities, though officials insist food supplies remain secure.
Russia has wrecked most of Ukraine’s modern storage capacity, according to the country’s infrastructure minister, who says 90% of these facilities have been destroyed.
The minister’s assessment covers modern storage sites, including retail and logistics warehouses. Despite the reported scale of damage, Ukrainian officials say food supplies remain secure.
The statement comes amid a broader wave of Russian strikes on warehouses, shopping complexes and logistics hubs. Recent attacks have included fires at warehouse facilities in the Bucha district near the M06 highway in Kyiv region and damage to major retail and logistics sites in several cities, according to Ukrainian reports.
These facilities are central to moving food, consumer goods and humanitarian supplies across the country. Their destruction forces longer routes, raises costs and increases the risk of disruption, even if core food stocks are currently sufficient.
For businesses and aid organizations, the loss of modern storage means finding alternative space, often in smaller or less well-equipped buildings, while knowing that any rebuilt capacity could itself become a target.
Future data on storage capacity by region, and evidence that Ukraine is dispersing goods into smaller, harder-to-hit sites, will help show how resilient its supply chains can remain under continued attack.
