Moscow, Russia – The Russian Defense Ministry said its forces carried out a focused military operation. This operation targeted vital energy and infrastructure facilities, as well as logistical sites used to support Ukrainian forces inside the capital, Kyiv.
The ministry explained in a statement carried by Russian media that the operation was carried out as part of a coordinated attack. This attack involved several types of high-precision weapons, with the aim of reducing the operational capabilities and disrupting the supply lines upon which Ukrainian forces depend.
