Russia Delays Decision on Restoring Damaged Marketplaces
Russian authorities, in coordination with digital marketplaces, are assessing the need to restore logistics infrastructure damaged by attacks from Ukrainian forces, with a decision expected by year-end. The government is evaluating whether full restoration of affected warehouses is necessary or if new logistics models can replace them.
Consensus
- The Russian government and digital marketplaces will assess the need to restore damaged logistics infrastructure by the end of the year.
- It is premature to decide on full restoration of the exact logistics centers that were damaged.
- Logistics are being restructured, with flows being redirected and new capacities being introduced.
- Digital marketplaces are still calculating the damage caused by attacks.
- Partnered small sorting centers are being used to support logistics operations.
- The assessment will determine whether state involvement in restoration is required.
- The discussions are taking place in the context of the Eastern Economic Forum (VÉF).
- The Ministry of Industry and Trade's deputy head, Roman Chekushov, made these statements in interviews with TASS.
