On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine, signaling a substantial escalation in the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War.

The campaign was preceded by Russia’s long-term military buildup, which began in early 2021, as well as Russian demands that Ukraine be legally prevented from joining NATO.

Russian aircraft have destroyed 74 ground facilities belonging to Ukraine’s military.

According to Igor Konashenkov, a spokesperson for the Russian Ministry of Defense, this includes 11 airfields, three command centers, and a naval facility.

According to Konashenkov, 18 anti-aircraft missile radio-locating stations were also destroyed.

According to Konashenkov, strikes against social facilities at Ukrainian military garrisons, such as apartments, residential complexes, and barracks, are not being carried out to minimize casualties among servicemen and their families.

Meanwhile, he claimed that a Russian assault plane crashed in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine due to “pilot error.”

“The pilot safely evacuated and is now at his military base,” Konashenkov stated.

According to Konashenkov, pro-Russian separatist fighters in Donbas are continuing their counteroffensive against the Ukrainian Armed Forces, with Russian army fire assistance.
