Wildberries is not moving its main logistics capacity out of Russia, while facilities abroad are being built as planned, RIA Novosti reported.

Construction of our warehouse facilities is proceeding as planned. We regard all media reports about accelerating construction or moving the company’s main logistics capacity outside the Russian Federation as unnecessary emotional escalation that does not reflect the substance of our business processes — Wildberries press service

The company is continuing to expand logistics infrastructure in the countries where it operates. It is currently directing the necessary resources towards restoring logistics processes and maintaining stable platform operations.

The Wildberries logistics hub at the Great Stone industrial park in Minsk began test operations in late May. The facility is increasing capacity in stages.

We are consistently bringing individual sections online and moving step by step towards the facility’s full launch — Wildberries press service

Wildberries plans to expand collection under its FBS model in the near future, allowing sellers to hand over orders through partner pickup points as well as company-operated locations.
