As a result of a massive Russian missile and drone attack on the night of August 5, the logistics and production infrastructure of a number of Ukrainian companies suffered significant damage. Warehouses, logistics complexes, a post office, and production facilities were damaged or destroyed.

This was reported by the press service of the Epicenter company, as well as a number of Ukrainian media outlets.

The company ” Epicenter” suffered the greatest losses. According to its data, one of the key logistics centers of the network on Viskozna Street in Kyiv completely burned down. An employee of the company died in the logistics and production complex in Kalynivka, and three more employees were injured and are in the hospital.

The company announced that to ensure uninterrupted supply, the production of ceramic products will be temporarily transferred to two foreign enterprises, and another production site in Ukraine is also being prepared for launch. According to preliminary estimates, the full restoration of the destroyed facilities will take at least a year and a half, and most likely about two years.
