On June 21 and during the night of June 22, units of the Defense Forces struck Russian targets.
"Based on additional data analysis, strikes on the infrastructure of Port Kavkaz in Russia's Krasnodar region and on two vehicle ferries on June 21 have been confirmed. These facilities are used to support Russian troops in the southern regions of Ukraine," the military said.

"The Defense Forces of Ukraine will continue to systematically reduce the Russian aggressor's ability to wage war against Ukraine," the General Staff emphasized.
