Ukrainians "are covering up their true motives and accusing us of allegedly selling military goods," she said. "But you can visit any global marketplace β€” Amazon or Alibaba β€” and see for yourself whether we have anything they don't."

Even giving her the benefit of the doubt, this only tells me that Amazon and Alibaba warehouses are also legitimate military targets; it doesn’t tell me that Wildberries is innocent.

This only tells me that there are certain sections of the system that are accessible only to certain tiers / classes of customers.

You also don't really have to put everything you sell on a public website. Pretty sure the military isn't just going to amazon.ru to look for their missing drone parts.

It's also what data centers are legitimate targets too. The Geneva Conventions are limited in what they protect for a reason, you can't just ship your military goods in ambulances and get mad when they get hit.
