Ukraine shifts strategy from military to economic targets, pressuring Russian domestic stability and civilian morale. Oligarchs face asset vulnerability, potentially weakening Putin's patronage network. Western sanctions combined with Ukrainian strikes create dual economic pressure on Russia's economy and elite wealth preservation.
Similar to WWII economic targeting of industrial capacity and supply chains, or 2022 sanctions strategy, but now with direct kinetic strikes on civilian infrastructure rather than diplomatic pressure alone.

Russian consumers face potential product shortages, delayed deliveries, and higher prices as Wildberries' distribution network is disrupted. Supply chain fragmentation may reduce product availability and increase costs for everyday goods purchased through Russia's largest online marketplace.
Russia may accelerate domestic supply chain redundancy investments, implement stricter civilian infrastructure protection measures, and potentially retaliate militarily. International sanctions may expand if civilian economic infrastructure becomes a conflict target. Insurance and logistics sectors may face regulatory changes.
