Since October 10, 2022, the armed forces of the Russian Federation have been launching attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure. This came just two days after the terrorist attack on the Crimean Bridge, which the Russian authorities claim was orchestrated by Ukrainian intelligence services. The attacks have targeted energy facilities, defense industries, military command centers, and communication systems throughout the country. Consequently, air alarms have been declared daily in various regions of Ukraine, sometimes even across the entire territory.
Earlier, Russian forces targeted warehouses containing fuel and weapons for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
