The Russian Defence Ministry stated that precision weapons are neutralising Ukrainian military infrastructure, including air bases, and air defences. The ministry noted that Ukrainian cities are not being targeted, and only military facilities are being neutralised. This reported by Sputnik.

The tensions in Ukraine have been mounting over the past several weeks, with the Ukrainian military carrying out multiple shellings against the Donbass republics. Following an appeal from the leaders of the Lugansk and Donetsk People's Republics, Moscow recognised their independence and urged Kiev to stop the war in the region.

Amid the ongoing attacks perpetrated by Kiev's forces in Donbass, Russia launched a special military operation to stop the bloodshed, targeting the Ukrainian military. Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed that the op aims at the demilitarisation and denazification of Ukraine.
