Three more employees were injured. Two key logistics complexes of the company were destroyed at the same time. The logistics center in Kyiv burned down completely. In Kalynivka, one of the largest ceramic tile factories in Ukraine was actually lost. Behind each such news is not just the numbers of losses.

And words of support to all Ukrainian companies that are experiencing this pain together with us today,» noted Yulia Chudnovets, PR director of Epicenter.
«Today I was supposed to post about ROZETKA turning 21. To thank our clients, partners, and team for this long journey we have traveled together. Instead, at night I watched as my life’s work burned after three ballistic missiles hit. We opened a distribution warehouse complex in Brovary in early 2017. It was the largest, most automated. Our pride. Here we processed over 100,000 orders per day. It is not subject to restoration. What did I feel at night? Devastation and pain. Great relief, because fortunately, this time no people were hurt,» shared Rozetka co-founder Iryna Chechotkina on Facebook.
