A number of claims and counterclaims are being made on the Ukraine-Russia conflict on the ground and online. While GlobalSecurity.org takes utmost care to accurately report this news story, we cannot independently verify the authenticity of all statements, photos and videos.
On 24 February 2022, Ukraine was suddenly and deliberately attacked by land, naval and air forces of Russia, igniting the largest European war since the Great Patriotic War. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation" (SVO - spetsialnaya voennaya operatsiya) in Ukraine in response to the appeal of the leaders of the "Donbass republics" for help. That attack is a blatant violation of the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. Putin stressed that Moscow's goal is the demilitarization and denazification of the country. The military buildup in preceeding months makes it obvious that the unprovoked and dastardly Russian attack was deliberately planned long in advance. During the intervening time, the Russian government had deliberately sought to deceive the world by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.

Kiev regime does not stop provocations create a threat of a man-made disaster at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant.
On 5 January, the AFU made another attempt to attack the Zaporozhye NPP and Energodar (Zaporozhye region) by eight fixed-wing UAVs.
Air defence systems shot down all unmanned aerial vehicles.
When one of the downed drones fell, it exploded and caught fire on the roof of the Zaporozhye NPP training centre.
There were no casualties or destruction at the station. The radiation situation is normal.
The personnel of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant continue to operate in a normal mode.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation also reported that in the course of active offensive operations, the Yug Group of Forces' units completely liberated Kurakhovo – the largest settlement in the south-western part of Donbass.
In ten years, the Kiev regime has turned it into a powerful fortified area with a developed network of pillboxes and underground communications. It is secured by a reservoir to the north, which significantly limited the manoeuvring capabilities of the Russian assault units.
To defend the populated area, the enemy has pulled large forces, to include nationalists and foreign mercenaries' detachments, strengthening them with artillery and tanks. These includes units of elite 79th air assault brigade and 46th airmobile brigade as well as 5th heavy brigade, 33rd and 157th mechanised brigades.
In total, the AFU command has concentrated 26 battalions with a total strength of over 15,000 troops to hold Kurakhovo.
As a result of professional actions of the Russian troops during the liberation of Kurakhovo, the enemy lost 80 per cent of its personnel (over 12,000 troops) and about 3,000 weapons and military hardware, to include 40 tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles. During the two months of combat operations near Kurakhovo, the daily losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on average amounted to 150–180 servicemen killed and wounded.
Capturing this important logistics settlement has significantly complicated the logistics support of the AFU in Donetsk direction, depriving the Kiev regime of the ability of shelling peaceful residents of Donetsk, the capital of the Donetsk People's Republic, with artillery systems.
After the capture of Kurakhovo, the Russian troops reached an operations space. This will increase the pace of liberation of the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic.
Servicemen of 5th and 110th motorised rifle brigades particularly distinguished themselves, showing courage and heroism during the liberation of Kurakhovo.
