History

Historical Context

The 2014 annexation of Crimea by Russia followed Ukraine's Revolution of Dignity, which ousted pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych. This event escalated tensions, leading to NATO's 70% increase in military readiness. The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant military support for Ukraine and a reevaluation of European security policies, as exemplified by recent missile strikes in Lviv and Zelensky's warnings about drone attacks.
