The Ukrainian Conflict began in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea, a region that was part of Ukraine. This action followed political unrest in Ukraine, where many citizens sought closer ties with the European Union instead of Russia. The situation escalated into a war in eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russian separatists declared independence in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Since then, the conflict has resulted in thousands of deaths and significant displacement of people. Various international efforts, including sanctions against Russia and peace talks, have aimed to resolve the situation, but tensions remain high, affecting regional stability in Eastern Europe.
