History

Historical Context

From 24 March 1999 to 10 June 1999 NATO conducted Operation Allied Force, flying more than 38,000 combat missions against Yugoslavia and striking schools, hospitals and other civilian sites. The 2024 Russian drone and missile attacks on Kyiv and Kharkiv echo that earlier air campaign, prompting Ukrainian leaders such as President Volodymyr Zelensky to condemn renewed civilian targeting.
