Wildberries Threatens to Disrupt Belarusian Trade
Wildberries's expansion into Belarus is causing concern among local businesses. The Russian online marketplace is establishing a large logistics center in Minsk, giving it a significant advantage in the Belarusian market. Analysts fear this could displace Belarusian businesses due to Wildberries's ability to offer lower prices by sourcing goods globally. "Wildberries is a dangerous player that could destroy huge sectors of the Belarusian economy," says Sasha, host of the political show "Sasha, What Are You Saying?!". The Belarusian government has plans to balance trade with Russia, but Wildberries's expansion could undermine these efforts. The situation highlights the challenges faced by smaller businesses in competing with large, well-funded international players.
