Russia Ukraine War
When Russia invaded the Ukraine I did not think it would last more than a year and it has now been over 3 ½ years and there is still no end in sight.
The History of the Ukraine-Russia conflict can be summarized as follows:
- The Russo-Ukrainian War began in February 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea following Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity. This led to armed conflict in the eastern Donbas region, where Russian-backed paramilitaries fought against Ukrainian forces.
- In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, marking a significant escalation in the conflict. This invasion was justified by Russian President Vladimir Putin through a series of grievances against Ukraine and the West.
- The conflict has resulted in significant territorial changes, with Russia controlling parts of Ukraine, but Ukraine has remained unified and resilient in its defense.
