On the night of 19 July, a Russian missile struck a Goodwine warehouse. The company reported that none of its employees were killed or injured, but members of the warehouse logistics operator’s team were injured. This is the second strike on Goodwine’s warehouse infrastructure since the start of the full-scale war.
Briefly about the main points
- A Russian missile struck the Goodwine warehouse during a night-time attack on 19 July.
- No goodwine staff were killed or injured.
- Members of the logistics operator’s team were injured.
- Only part of the remaining stock was stored at the site.
- The company plans to avoid disruptions and delays to deliveries.
Employees of a logistics operator were injured
Goodwine stated that its warehouse had been destroyed during the Russian attack. The company said the most important thing was that none of its staff had been killed.
At the same time, warehouse staff were injured logistics operator. The company’s statement does not provide any details on the number of people affected or the nature of their injuries.
The company is redistributing the workload and supporting its partners
At the time of the strike, only part of the remaining stock was in the warehouse, Goodwine reported. The company stated that it is trying to organise its operations in such a way as to prevent disruptions to its work and delays in deliveries.
Goodwine is also continuing to supply partners who have lost most of their own stock as a result of Russian attacks. Consequently, the resumption of operations following the strike concerns not only its own product range but also the fulfilment of its obligations to other companies.
The first central warehouse was destroyed in 2022
In March 2022, a Russian missile strike completely destroyed Goodwine’s central warehouse in Stoyanka, Kyiv Oblast. It covered an area of around 10,000 square metres.
At the time, the facility held approximately 1.6 million bottles of wine, including collectable items, as well as other products. The company estimated the losses resulting from that attack at around 15 million euros.
A second blow to the storage infrastructure
This latest attack marks the second instance of damage to Goodwine’s warehouse infrastructure since the full-scale war began. The company has not publicly disclosed the extent of the material damage caused by the strike on 19 July.
The statement that only part of the stock was held in the warehouse suggests that, on this occasion, the extent of the loss of goods may differ from the consequences of the 2022 strike. At the same time, maintaining the pace of deliveries remains the company’s top priority.
