“For four years, the Kremlin sought to shield Russians from the fallout of the war in Ukraine, maintaining a veneer of normality in everyday life and ensuring that affluent city dwellers could still enjoy the conveniences of a 21st-century economy,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“That effort is now crumbling.”

“Ukraine’s long-range drone strikes have brought the war home to Russia’s urban middle class, most recently with attacks on logistics hubs for the country’s biggest e-commerce company, a homegrown version of Amazon.com.”
