Ukraine Conflict

The Ukraine conflict began in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea and separatist movements emerged in eastern Ukraine, leading to a protracted armed conflict. Tensions escalated in 2022 when Russia launched a full-scale invasion, citing security concerns and political differences, aiming to gain control over Ukrainian territory. Ukraine, supported by Western countries, resists Russian advances, viewing the conflict as an attack on its sovereignty and independence. The war has caused widespread destruction, displacement, and loss of lives, highlighting complex geopolitical issues involving national identity, security interests, and regional stability. Efforts continue globally to negotiate peace and address humanitarian impacts.
