The Russian-Ukrainian War is an ongoing conflict between Russia (with pro-Russian rebel groups) and Ukraine. It began in February 2014 after Ukraine's Dignity Revolution and initially focused on the international recognition of Crimea and parts of Donbass as part of Ukraine.
Key Points
- In February and March 2014, Russia attacked and annexed Ukraine's Crimean peninsula. This incident happened after the Revolution of Dignity and is part of the Great Russian-Ukrainian War.
- From the north, in Belarus (in the direction of kyiv); from the northeast in Russia (towards Kharkiv); from the East in the DPR and the LPR; and from the south, in the Crimea, Russian troops entered Ukraine.
- The Communist Supreme Soviet (parliament) of Ukraine declared on August 24, 1991 that Ukraine would no longer follow the laws of the Soviet Union and would instead follow the laws of the Ukrainian SSR, thus officially declaring the independence of the Union Ukraine. Today's Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union in 1954. Crimea, a Black Sea peninsula ceded from Russia to Ukraine by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, was the home stretch. However, after the country's independence in 1991, pro-Russian political groups remained in Ukraine, which Putin took advantage of.
- Ukraine was the most populous and industrialized republic after the Russian Soviet Republic until the Soviet Union collapsed and regained its independence in 1991.
- In 1991, Russia and NATO established the North Atlantic Cooperation Council, and in 1994 Russia joined NATO's Partnership for Peace initiative.
- After the 2010 Ukrainian presidential election, in which Viktor Yanukovych, who wanted to keep Ukraine non-aligned, was elected president, Ukraine's plans to join NATO were dropped. Despite this, in the past Russia at least pretended to cooperate with NATO.
- In 2021 and 2022, a Russian military buildup on the Ukrainian border heightened tensions and damaged bilateral relations, and the United States issued strong warnings that an invasion would have disastrous economic consequences for Russia.
