Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized the enlargement of NATO as a threat to his country and demanded Ukraine be barred from ever joining the military alliance. NATO accused Russia of planning an invasion, which it denied. In 2021 and early 2022, there was a major Russian military build-up around Ukraine's borders. By 2019, 7% of Ukraine's territory was classified by the Ukrainian government as temporarily occupied territories, while the Russian government had indirectly acknowledged the presence of its troops in Ukraine. In 2015, a package of agreements called Minsk II were signed by Russia and Ukraine, but a number of disputes prevented them from being fully implemented. The war settled into a stalemate, with repeated failed attempts at ceasefire. An undeclared war began between Ukrainian forces and separatists intermingled with Russian troops, although Russia denied the presence of its troops in the Donbas. In August, unmarked Russian military vehicles crossed the border into the Donetsk republic. In April 2014, demonstrations by pro-Russian groups in the Donbas region of Ukraine escalated into a war between the Ukrainian military and Russian-backed separatists of the self-declared Donetsk and Luhansk republics. Unmarked Russian troops seized the Crimean Parliament and Russia organized a widely-criticised referendum, whose outcome was for Crimea to join Russia. Russian soldiers without insignia took control of strategic positions and infrastructure in the Ukrainian territory of Crimea. Having built up a large military presence on the border from late 2021, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, which is ongoing.įollowing the Euromaidan protests and a revolution resulting in the removal of pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych on 22 February 2014, pro-Russian unrest erupted in parts of Ukraine.
Intentionally concealing its involvement, Russia gave military backing to separatists in the Donbas from 2014 onwards. The conflict includes the Russian annexation of Crimea (2014), the war in Donbas (2014–present), naval incidents, cyberwarfare, and political tensions. Conflict began in February 2014 following the Revolution of Dignity, and focused on the status of Crimea and parts of the Donbas, internationally recognised as part of Ukraine. The Russo-Ukrainian War is an ongoing war primarily involving Russia, pro-Russian forces, and Belarus on one side, and Ukraine and its international supporters on the other.
