Roshen not to raise prices despite destruction of its largest logistics center in Russian attack
The largest logistics center of confectionery corporation Roshen in Yahotyn, Kyiv region, was almost completely destroyed in a Russian attack overnight on Feb. 7, the company's press service reported.
According to the official statement, there were no casualties among personnel, as all employees were in shelters during the strike. Emergency Service units continue to work at the site to eliminate the consequences of the fire.
The corporation said that despite significant destruction of the finished goods warehouse and related losses, prices for Roshen products will remain stable. The logistics hub is currently transitioning to round-the-clock operations.
Ukraine's fifth president Petro Poroshenko, commenting on the attack on the facility on his Telegram channel, stressed that Russian strikes are aimed at destroying Ukraine's economy and logistics.
"Russia wants our fatigue. It wants fear. It wants to break us economically and psychologically when it cannot do so on the battlefield. But every time after such attacks we see something else. We see resilience. We see dignity," he wrote.
Member of Parliament Oleksiy Honcharenko (European Solidarity faction), who published footage from the scene on Telegram, stressed the absence of any military facilities at the center.
"The warehouses look like this. There is no military equipment there. Once again, the business of one of the largest private sponsors of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is under attack," he wrote, adding that from now on "the Russians are also waging war against sweets."
According to the corporation, during the full-scale invasion it has paid more than UAH 21.6 billion in taxes to budgets at all levels.
As reported, the Roshen confectionery factory in Kyiv had also previously been targeted by a Russian strike. According to NPC Ukrenergo, the combined attack on February 7 also caused a deficit in the power system due to damage to generation and distribution facilities.
Roshen ranked 27th among the world's largest confectionery manufacturers in 2025. The corporation includes the Kyiv, Kremenchuk, and two Vinnytsia confectionery factories, as well as the Vinnytsia dairy plant and the biscuit complex in Boryspil (Ukraine); the Klaipėda confectionery factory (Lithuania); and the Bonbonetti Choco factory (Hungary). Production at the Lipetsk factory (Russia) has been suspended since April 1, 2017.
The corporation produces about 320 types of confectionery products. Total production volume is approximately 300,000 tons of products per year.
Roshen's branded retail network in Ukraine includes about 70 stores in various regions of the country. The first store opened in Kyiv in 2009.
The ultimate beneficiary of the company is Oleksiy Poroshenko, the son of Ukraine's fifth president (2014–2019), currently a member of parliament and leader of the European Solidarity party, Petro Poroshenko.
