On the morning of August 27, 2026, as a result of a massive attack by the armed forces of Russia, the warehouse of the confectionery company ROSHEN, located in the settlement of Chubynske in Kyiv Oblast, was completely destroyed. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing an official statement from the company itself. The destroyed facility performed a critically important function — ensuring the preservation and subsequent delivery of finished confectionery products across the entire territory of Ukraine. Thus, the strike on the warehouse in Chubynske was a direct hit to the logistical artery of one of the largest sweet manufacturers in the country.
Personnel safe: alarm system activated
At the time of the shelling, the warehouse was occupied by working personnel. However, according to ROSHEN's statement, no employees were harmed: workers promptly responded to the air raid alert and managed to take shelter in prepared protective structures. At the scene, units of the State Emergency Service (SES) are currently working to eliminate the consequences of the attack and assess the scale of the material damage. Exact figures of losses were not disclosed at the time of publication.
Second attack during the war: the Yagotin precedent
The incident in Chubynske has become the second strike by Russian troops on ROSHEN's warehouse infrastructure during the full-scale war. In February of this year, the enemy completely destroyed the company's finished goods warehouse in the city of Yagotin in Kyiv Oblast. The repeated nature of the attacks on the facilities of precisely this enterprise indicates a deliberate strategy to disrupt the logistical and production chains of Ukrainian industrial companies. ROSHEN's statement emphasizes that the current attack also led to significant material losses, including the loss of warehouse stock, and that temporary disruptions in the supply of certain product lines may occur in the near future.
Reserve scenarios: how the company minimizes the impact
ROSHEN assured that the experience of the February strike on Yagotin allowed the company to develop reserve action scenarios to minimize the consequences of such attacks. Currently, the team is working out mechanisms for rapidly reconfiguring supply chains, redistributing product stocks between the remaining facilities, and engaging alternative warehouse sites. According to the company, these measures will allow supply to resume within the shortest possible time and reduce the impact of the situation on both trading partners and end consumers.
Broader context: nighttime attack on Kyiv Oblast logistics
The strike on the ROSHEN warehouse in Chubynske was not an isolated incident. On the night of August 27, the occupation forces carried out a massive strike on the logistical infrastructure of Kyiv Oblast as a whole. As a result of the attack, the distribution centers of several major retail chains — "Fora", "Toy Home" (Dom Igrushkek), and Comfy — were damaged and destroyed. The totality of these strikes indicates a systematic attempt to destabilize consumer goods supply chains in the region, which in the long term may affect pricing and product availability on store shelves.
