In a separate report, it was noted that on March 25, the Russian military destroyed a Ukrainian warehouse near Velikie Korovnitsy in the Zhytomyr region using high-precision sea-based Caliber cruise missiles. Another strike employed a precise Onyx cruise missile to target a fuel base in the Nikolayev region, which supported fuel logistics for Ukrainian forces in southern Ukraine. Earlier footage released by the Russian Ministry of Defense showed the destruction of a Ukrainian military command post by missile strike. On February 24, President Vladimir Putin stated that, in response to requests for aid from the leaders of the LPR and DPR, Russia had decided to launch a special military operation in Ukraine.
