Russian attacks on food warehouses and logistics hubs in Kyiv have left supermarket shelves partially empty and raised fears of rising prices, according to local reports and industry officials.
Supermarket shelves in Kyiv are showing gaps as Russian strikes on food warehouses and logistics supply chains continue, affecting the availability of goods and potentially increasing prices. The attacks have disrupted supply chains, forcing businesses to consider moving operations to safer locations or using alternative storage methods.
Industry officials estimate that food prices could rise by up to 15% due to the damage to infrastructure, though some suggest the increase may be closer to 5%. The attacks have also impacted other sectors, including e-commerce logistics and medical supply storage, with one of the World Health Organization’s warehouses hit in recent days.
