History

Historical Context

The Russian annexation of Crimea in March 2014 followed Ukraine's Euromaidan protests and the ousting of President Yanukovych. This act ignited the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, leading to over 13,000 deaths and a humanitarian crisis. The situation escalated further with Russia's full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, marking the largest conflict in Europe since World War II and prompting urgent calls for international support for Ukraine.
