# “You Opened Pandora's Box”: Peskov Threatens Kyiv with “Responses Every Day and Night” After Strikes on Ozon

![Dmitry Peskov on a phone call with a red smartphone, commenting on strikes on Ozon and warning Kyiv of daily and nightly responses](https://xab.info/media/2026/08/24/peskov-prigrozil-otvetom-za-udary-po-ozon/peskov-prigrozil-otvetom-za-udary-po-ozon-1.webp)

## 🎯 Key Points

- Peskov threatened Kyiv with “responses every day and every night” after strikes on Ozon warehouses
- On August 24, three major Ozon hubs were attacked, and the company's shares fell by nearly 30%
- Fires in warehouses and industrial zones were recorded in Krasnodar and Saint Petersburg
- Measures to support Russian business, according to Peskov, are still being developed; there are no ready solutions

Russian President's press secretary Dmitry Peskov adopted a sharp rhetoric toward Kyiv, effectively threatening with continuous strikes on the Ukrainian capital in response to drone attacks on the infrastructure of the Ozon marketplace. According to RBC-Ukraine, citing the Telegram channel “You Were Listening,” the Kremlin spokesman stated that “responses” in the Ukrainian capital are “felt every day, every night” and will continue to be felt “going forward.” The statement came amid reports of massive strikes on warehouses and industrial facilities within Russian territory.

### Threat of a “Response Every Day and Every Night”

Commenting on the strikes, Peskov said they “once again underscore the essence of the Kyiv regime.” In his words, in this context “the main thing, of course, is to recall Putin's words: ‘You yourselves opened Pandora's box, now receive the response.’” The Kremlin spokesman added that “responses in Kyiv are felt every day, every night, and will continue to be felt going forward.” Thus, the Kremlin's official representative publicly linked Moscow's further actions to Ukraine's offensive operations, framing a rhetoric of continuous “response.”

### Strikes on Ozon Hubs and Market Reaction

Peskov's rhetoric came against the backdrop of specific events: on August 24, it became known that Ukrainian military forces attacked three major Ozon hubs within Russian territory. Against this backdrop, the company's shares, according to available data, fell by nearly 30%. In parallel, in Krasnodar, a large warehouse caught fire during a massive drone attack, and on August 23, a large industrial zone with military enterprises was burning in Saint Petersburg. It was these incidents, apparently, that prompted the public threat from the Kremlin.

### Business Support: No Ready Solutions Yet

At the same briefing, Peskov commented on measures to support Russian businesses and citizens affected by the attacks. In his words, the relevant options are “only being developed,” and there are “still no ready solutions.” “The government, together with business representatives, is considering and developing various options for providing support in such a difficult situation,” the Kremlin spokesman added, thereby acknowledging that practical assistance to the affected companies and people had not yet been formulated at the time of his statement.

### Contradictory Data

An internal inconsistency is noted in Peskov's statements. On the one hand, he publicly claimed that “nothing is working out” for Ukraine in its attacks on Russian territory. On the other hand, against the same backdrop, he acknowledged that measures to support business and the population are “only being developed” and that there are no ready solutions, and he also noted the large-scale consequences of the strikes — fires in warehouses and industrial zones, and the nearly 30% drop in Ozon shares. Thus, the acknowledgment of the need for emergency support for the objects affected by the attacks effectively contradicts the thesis of their “uselessness.” Various media outlets (RBC, RBC-Ukraine, Life, Mail.ru) report the content of the statement with minor differences in wording, but the overall meaning of the threat of a “response every day and night” is consistent across all versions.

The situation demonstrates how Ukraine's offensive operations against the logistical and industrial infrastructure are increasingly influencing the Kremlin's public rhetoric, forcing it to simultaneously threaten a “continuous response” and acknowledge the need to develop support measures for the affected business. The further dynamics will depend on whether the concrete solutions promised by the Russian government for compensating the damage appear.
