Chronicle of Russia’s War Crimes Against Ukraine’s Environment: Odesa Oblast, August 2024
On the eve of Ukraine’s Independence Day, we were repeatedly warned about a possible massive combined Russian attack. But instead of 24 August, the Russian occupiers committed another crime on 26 August. The targets of the strike, which used various means of attack, were energy infrastructure and other civilian facilities. In total, Russian terrorists launched 127 missiles of various types and 109 Shahed-136 kamikaze drones at Ukraine. Fifteen regions, including Odesa Oblast, were affected by Russia’s attacks.
