History

Historical Context

The 2014 annexation of Crimea by Russia followed Ukraine's Revolution of Dignity, which ousted pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych. This move violated international agreements, including the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, and led to widespread sanctions from the EU and the US, impacting trade worth over €160 billion. The ongoing conflict has heightened military readiness in Europe and solidified NATO's presence in Eastern Europe.
