History

Historical Context

The 2014 Russian seizure of Crimea, declared a provisional occupation by Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada on 15 April 2014 and later dated 20 February 2014, sparked a war that spread east and led Kyiv to create a Ministry for Temporarily Occupied Territories in 2016. By 2022 Russian drones had struck Ukraine over 150 times, killing more than 2,000 civilians, a pattern echoed in the 19 September 2026 Hlevakha attack.
