Russia launched its special military operation in Ukraine in February, when the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics asked for help in defending themselves against intensifying Ukrainian attacks. President Vladimir Putin stressed that the op aimed to stop the eight-year-long war being waged by Kiev against the people of Donbass.

According to Kiev, almost half of the country's energy system has not been operating due to missile strikes.
