The Russia-Ukraine conflict began in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea, a region that was part of Ukraine. This action sparked tensions between the two countries, leading to fighting in eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russian separatists declared independence. The conflict has resulted in thousands of deaths and has drawn international attention, with many countries supporting Ukraine and imposing sanctions on Russia. In 2022, the conflict escalated further when Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. This invasion has led to widespread destruction and a humanitarian crisis, forcing millions of Ukrainians to flee their homes. The situation remains tense, with ongoing battles and diplomatic efforts to find a resolution.
