Russian forces are continuing to strike strategic infrastructure used by the Ukrainian military, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov said. In an update to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Gerasimov said the strikes had destroyed 76 logistics centers and warehouses, 203 port infrastructure facilities, and 93 vessels carrying military supplies to Ukraine.

Gerasimov said that, under the General Staff’s plan, Russian forces were targeting strategically important bridges, railway facilities and data centers supporting the Ukrainian armed forces.

He said Russia had carried out systematic strikes on Ukraine’s port and logistics infrastructure and vessels in response to what he described as efforts by the Ukrainian leadership to disrupt Russian shipping in the Black Sea. According to Gerasimov, the strikes had brought operations at Ukraine’s main Black Sea ports to a halt.
