Quote: "We have now been hit for the second time in two months, and once again on the night of 1-2 [July and September – ed]. The new central warehouse of Okwine and Wine Hunters was destroyed in the enemy attack. Fortunately, no one from our team was injured. We thank the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the State Emergency Service, medics and air defence forces, who have been working around the clock over the past few days.

We had only just barely begun to recover from the first strike, bringing in new products and trying to plan for the future, even if only a little, even if just for a week."

Previously: On the night of 18-19 July, eight Russian ballistic missiles hit the main product warehouse of Winetime, completely destroying it. Early estimates put the value of the stock lost at UAH 300 million (US$6.7 million). No one was injured.
