Ukraine Conflict

The Ukraine Conflict refers to the ongoing geopolitical struggle that began in 2014, primarily involving Ukraine, Russia, and various supporting nations. It originated with Russia’s annexation of Crimea following Ukraine’s Euromaidan protests and the subsequent ousting of President Viktor Yanukovych. The situation escalated into an armed conflict in eastern Ukraine between Ukrainian forces and Russian-backed separatists in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. This conflict has led to significant military engagements, loss of life, and a substantial humanitarian crisis, displacing millions of people.

Internationally, the conflict has resulted in economic sanctions against Russia and increased tensions between NATO and Russia. The situation in Ukraine continued to evolve, particularly with the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia, which started in February 2022, marking a significant escalation and drawing widespread global condemnation. The Ukraine Conflict highlights issues of national sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the influence of major powers in regional conflicts.
