Russia began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24

February 2022,[44] in an escalation of the Russo-
Ukrainian War that began in 2014. The invasion is the
largest conventional military attack on a sovereign state
in Europe since World War II.
After the Ukrainian Revolution of Dignity in 2014,
Russia annexed Crimea, and Russian-backed separatist
forces seized part of the south-eastern Ukrainian region
of the Donbas, launching an ongoing war in the region.
In March 2021, Russia began assembling military
forces along the Russia–Ukraine border, creating the
2021–2022 Russo-Ukrainian crisis. During this period,
Russian president Vladimir Putin espoused Russian
irredentist views,[50] questioned Ukraine's right to
statehood,[51][52] and accused NATO of threatening
Russia's security, demanding that Ukraine be
permanently barred from joining the alliance.
On 22nd feb 2022 Russia's Federation Council
unanimously authorised use of military force, and
Russian soldiers entered both territories. On 24
February, about 05:00 EET Putin announced a "special
military operation" to "demilitarise and denazify"
Ukraine.
The invasion received widespread international
condemnation. Many countries imposed new sanctions,
triggering a financial crisis in Russia. Some companies
have started to boycott Russia and Belarus. Various
countries have given humanitarian and military aid to
Ukraine. The invasion has caused the Ukrainian refugee
crisis, Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War
II — at least 1.7 million people fled Ukraine as of 7
March.
