Even giving her the benefit of the doubt, this only tells me that Amazon and Alibaba warehouses are also legitimate military targets; it doesn’t tell me that Wildberries is innocent.
You also don't really have to put everything you sell on a public website. Pretty sure the military isn't just going to amazon.ru to look for their missing drone parts.
This only tells me that there are certain sections of the system that are accessible only to certain tiers / classes of customers.
It's also what data centers are legitimate targets too. The Geneva Conventions are limited in what they protect for a reason, you can't just ship your military goods in ambulances and get mad when they get hit.
Kind of hard to argue you are not a legitimate target when the warehouses have significant anti-air defense systems.
And house a fuck load of their drone parts
"Unfortunately, 'everything possible' turns out to be nothing at all, but we're all very busy doing as much of that as we can to resolve the situation"
Yaaaawwnnnn. Blow up more of their economy
I can understand saying they're not liable for losses due to force majeure, but I'm surprised she directly said people should wait for the Russian government to do something. Maybe there's something in the works or I'm reading too much into it, but that seems a bit like actually placing the blame where it belongs.
From what I've read, there seems to be a lot of anger among Russians at their government for slow-walking the war and trying to compromise with the west. Also this is an election year so everyone will be pressuring the government to do stuff they want.
Most Russians do not really care about the war and the Russian media has generally portrayed the situation positively - they're taking land, stop 99.99999999% of drones, the sanctions do nothing, etc. Until comparatively recently, you could live your life as though it wasn't happening at all. Maybe you're talking about people on telegram but they're a tiny minority.
People don't pressure the government in Russia.
That was true till recently because the economy was growing at the fastest rate in the last fifty years or so, and there was nothing Ukraine could do to touch Russian civilians.
But this is no longer true. War is affecting people in Moscow and south Russian cities. So there will be greater pressure to end it quickly, even if it means a more 'hardline'' policy. And the opposition - particularly the Liberal Democrats, who have a chance of finishing second this time - could use this crisis to gain public support.
I'm aware. They're also mostly from Moscow and other big cities, which have a minority of the population. I'm not suggesting that United Russia could lose their majority - their rural support has held firm, and polls suggest that they will improve their tally. But this is the best chance for a lot of different parties - including Ukraine - to pressure the Russian government, and I'm sure they'll all do whatever they can.
lmao, also noone is pressuring m*scovian government to do anything they can literally assign gas chamber lottery and the winners would go to die there without complaints.
If she really cared about the other countries, not just used them to deflect, she could have fully moved her business out of Russia by now.
