Documented cause
Rozetka's dedicated last-mile logistics subsidiary, built to serve Ukraine's largest e-commerce platform, collapsed operationally in the spring of 2022 after warehouse infrastructure in Kharkiv and Mariupol was destroyed by Russian shelling. Over 40% of the delivery fleet was stranded or destroyed in occupied territories. The subsidiary was wound down and logistics outsourced to Nova Poshta by Q3 2022.
