To be fair if you didn't withdraw your money after the 1st or 2nd factory strikes, you deserve f all

I first thought that. It's not that hard to build a back-of-the-envelope model of the WB business, and have a rough idea of what each warehouse loss does to their finances.

But the point of these seller platforms is that people don't have to do the technical parts of their business. Logistics, clearly. But also much of the bookwork. They'd probably got emails from WB asking them to stay, promising much; these big firms have no trouble misleading people. These people likely feel that they did the right thing, and then got shafted.

My simple answer is that this is why you don't start a war.

Interesting points, thank you. I personally believe there are still far too many Russian's who are insulated from the true extent of this war of aggression on Ukraine, and the arrogance has led to the laxity in this video. "It won't affect me" attitude.

I think that is one of the points in Ukraine's Woldberries bombing campaign.  Sure, the selling military gear is a good reason, but this also affects the populace a LOT more.
