Historical Context

On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, escalating the conflict that began in 2014. This invasion resulted in Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II, displacing over 8 million Ukrainians. The international community, including the United Nations, condemned the invasion, leading to widespread sanctions against Russia and ongoing geopolitical tensions that continue to shape global relations.
