History

Historical Context

The Russo-Ukrainian War began in 2014 after Russia's annexation of Crimea and support for separatists in eastern Ukraine, leading to ongoing conflict. By 2021, military tensions escalated with significant troop buildups near Ukraine's borders. The situation intensified in February 2022 when Russia launched a full-scale invasion, resulting in over 13,000 reported deaths and prompting increased international sanctions and military support for Ukraine from NATO allies.
