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.
"To initiate a war of aggression... is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." [Judgment of the International Military Tribunal]
The UK Ministry of Defence reported that overnight 10-11 March, Ukraine conducted its largest Uncrewed Aerial System (UAS) strikes against Russia in the conflict so far. The strikes targeted several Russian regions including Moscow and locations in the vicinity, with the Russian Defence Ministry claiming 337 UAS had been `intercepted and destroyed, including 91 over the Moscow region. Fires have been reported in Moscow as well as a temporary halt in operations at all four Moscow airports, and the suspension of the railway connection between Moscow and Domodedovo.
The Ukrainian strikes are the latest in a pattern of increased regularity of Ukrainian UAS strikes deep into Russian territory, emphasising the challenge confronting Russia to protect its infrastructure and strategic assets balanced against protecting its operations at the front line.
Putin and the Russian senior leadership almost certainly consider Ukraine's ability to both target and cause disruption within Moscow to be a significant embarrassment. It also undermines the Russian leadership's narrative of the conflict as a localised operation as opposed to a war. Russian state-controlled media reporting of the strikes has been minimal which likely reflects unease by the Russian leadership regarding any potential adverse reaction from the population.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that The Defense Forces of Ukraine continue to withhold the pressure of the occupation troops. The situation on the Pokrovsky and Kursky directions remains tense - the Russian enemy is focusing the main offensive efforts there.
