Russian publishers, both large and independent, have temporarily halted book deliveries to the online marketplace Wildberries. This action comes in the context of Ukrainian drone attacks on the marketplace's warehouses, according to a report from "Kommersant," which cites sources from the publishing industry.

According to the report, there are already seven known cases in which publishers have stopped their sales activities on this platform due to the tense situation. This decision represents a significant reaction from the book industry to the ongoing military confrontations.

We disclose this under Art. 50(4), second subparagraph, of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act). Before publication we check origin and verifiability — anything that appears in only one place is not published — as well as language, substance and legally sensitive content. No separate substantive review of each individual item by a natural person takes place; we therefore do not rely on the exemption in Art. 50(4), second subparagraph, of the AI Act. Editorial responsibility for this publication rests with the person named in the imprint (§ 18 Abs. 2 MStV). Please report errors to [email protected] — we will correct or remove the item.
