Table of Content
The Ukraine War, also known as the Russo-Ukrainian War, is a ongoing armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia that began in 2014. The war started after the Euromaidan revolution in Ukraine, which resulted in the ousting of pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych. Russia annexed Crimea shortly after Yanukovych’s ousting, and pro-Russian separatists began to protest in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of eastern Ukraine. This escalated into a full-scale war, with Russia providing support to separatist rebels in the form of troops and weapons.
The war has led to thousands of deaths and the displacement of over 1.5 million people. The UN has reported that over 13,000 people have been killed in the conflict as of 2021. The war has also had a significant impact on the economy and infrastructure of eastern Ukraine, with many cities and towns being heavily damaged by the fighting.
The international community has largely condemned Russia’s actions in Ukraine and has imposed economic sanctions on the country as a result. The situation remains tense, with sporadic fighting and ceasefire agreements being brokered, but not fully implemented. The Minsk agreements from 2015, which aims to resolve the conflict through diplomatic means, has been signed but not fully implemented.
It is important to note that the information available on the war might be biased, and it is important to consult multiple sources to understand the situation.
