乌克兰总统泽连斯基周四在基辅与美国雷神公司代表团举行会晤,讨论联合生产爱国者防空系统事宜[1]。这次会谈是在美国前总统特朗普三周前承诺向乌克兰授予生产许可后进行的[1]。雷神公司表示已准备好与乌克兰联合生产爱国者拦截弹[1]。
与此同时,乌克兰继续对俄罗斯目标发动无人机大规模攻击。俄罗斯防卫部周五上午报告称其防空系统在一夜间击落571架乌克兰无人机[1]。
过去七天内,乌克兰无人机对俄罗斯最大电商平台Wildberries至少九个仓库进行了密集袭击[2]。这些设施位于莫斯科周边至圣彼得堡郊区各地[2],至少造成9人死亡,被摧毁货物估值170亿卢布(约22亿美元或16.5亿英镑)[2]。受攻击仓库总面积约55.2万平方米,占Wildberries总仓储容量约十分之一[2]。泽连斯基表示这些目标是被用于运输无人机零件和导航设备的"主要物流设施"[2]。
此外,乌克兰的长程武器还击中了距乌克兰边境约1350公里的俄罗斯石油设施[1]。
Wildberries在首次遭到无人机袭击前11天更改了服务条款,豁免自身对包括无人机袭击在内的"不可抗力"事件中商品损失的责任[2]。平台上的商户因此蒙受巨大损失,一些商户获得的赔偿金额远低于实际损失[2]。
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has entered talks with American defense manufacturer Raytheon to jointly produce Patriot air defense systems [1]. The discussions, which took place during a meeting between Zelenskyy and a Raytheon delegation in Kyiv on Thursday, come less than three weeks after former US President Donald Trump pledged to grant Ukraine production licenses for the Patriot interceptor missiles [1]. Raytheon has signaled its readiness to collaborate with Ukraine on manufacturing these defense systems [1].
The development occurs amid an intensified Ukrainian campaign targeting Russian infrastructure through drone strikes. In a concentrated assault over the past week, Ukrainian forces have struck at least nine warehouses operated by Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, across multiple locations from Moscow's suburbs to the outskirts of St. Petersburg [2]. The strikes have resulted in at least nine deaths and destroyed cargo valued at approximately 170 billion rubles, or roughly 2.2 billion US dollars [2]. The targeted facilities represent approximately one-tenth of Wildberries' total storage capacity, spanning about 552,000 square meters [2].
Zelenskyy characterized these logistics operations as "main facilities" used to transport unmanned aerial vehicle components and navigation equipment [2]. However, the strikes have had severe consequences for small merchants operating on the Wildberries platform. One vendor, Anton Bryanski, lost 4.6 million rubles in merchandise but received only 19,000 rubles in compensation—less than one percent of his losses [2]. This limited reimbursement followed Wildberries' decision to modify its terms and conditions eleven days before the initial attack, exempting the company from liability for goods damaged in "force majeure" events, including drone strikes [2].
Russian authorities reported that air defense systems shot down 571 Ukrainian drones overnight on Friday [1]. Ukrainian long-range weapons have also struck petroleum facilities located approximately 1,350 kilometers from the Ukrainian border [1].
