History

Historical Context

Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 ignited the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, leading to significant military confrontations. By 2019, Ukrainian forces reported over 10,000 casualties. Recent counterattacks in Dnipropetrovsk, including the recapture of key villages, demonstrate Ukraine's persistent resistance against Russian aggression, which continues to impact regional security and international relations as NATO and the EU support Ukraine's sovereignty.
