Putin does not want to end the war and is expanding the scale of his strikes. He is waiting for winter. They are striking our civilian businesses, our logistics, Ukrposhta, and burning down Nova Poshta – since 2022. Why, in particular, do we strike Wildberries? Because it involves both the supply of military goods and big money for Russia. Our operation was very carefully calculated. It was their strikes on our logistics that led us to respond in kind, logistically. But we strike with an understanding of the scale of their losses. In that one operation against Wildberries alone, and only in terms of direct losses in Russia, the figure is around a trillion rubles. And if you take into account the company's debts, related losses for other companies and individuals, and the need to restructure operations and rebuild Wildberries, it comes to 3 trillion rubles.
We are also tracking the social impact of our operations in Russia. Many people in Russia want the war to end. They put it this way: they just want it to end. In our view, the statistics are as follows: more than 60% of Russian society wants an end to this war, a ceasefire. So this shows that public sentiment is moving in that direction, and the trends are clear. We have also seen a sharp decline in support for Putin's government. We are talking about United Russia. They removed Yabloko from the election because they expected Yabloko to get a maximum of 3% or 4%, and then they looked at public sentiment, and there it was immediately at 11–12%, with an upward trend. They struck them off the ballot simply to ensure there would be no alternative to the war and to his rule.
