22 July 12:47
Global Spirits, one of Europe’s largest producers of alcoholic beverages, announced that its main warehouse for finished products had been completely destroyed as a result of a Russian missile strike on the Amtel logistics complex in the Kyiv region. Due to the loss of all its inventory, the company is temporarily unable to fulfill orders for its customers.
Global Spirits reported this on its official Facebook page, according to "Komersant Ukrainian"
The Russian attack completely destroyed the warehouse
According to the company, on the night of July 19, a Russian missile struck the Amtel logistics complex in the Bucha district of the Kyiv region.
As a result of the strike:
- the warehouse facilities were completely burned down;
- all stocks of finished products were destroyed;
- preliminary losses exceed 100 million hryvnias.
The company emphasized that approximately 74 million hryvnias in taxes—including excise tax, VAT, income tax, and payroll taxes—had already been paid to Ukraine’s state budget from these products.
Product deliveries have been temporarily suspended
Global Spirits stated that due to the complete loss of inventory, it is currently impossible to deliver products to customers.
The company urged its partners to take this situation into account when planning their operations, as certain items that were among the top sellers will be temporarily unavailable on the market.
At the same time, the company assured that it is already working to restore logistics processes and find solutions to resume deliveries as soon as possible.
Other large companies have also been affected
The Amtel logistics complex was one of Ukraine’s largest warehousing centers.
As a result of the Russian attack, the following companies also reported the loss of their warehouses:
- goodwine;
- Winetime;

Global Spirits expressed support for its neighbors at the logistics complex and emphasized that the most important thing was that no one was killed during the attack.
