The Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 marked a significant escalation of the conflict that began in 2014. On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine, leading to widespread destruction, significant loss of life, and a major humanitarian crisis. This invasion was widely condemned by the international community, leading to severe economic sanctions against Russia and increased support for Ukraine, including military aid and humanitarian assistance. The conflict has resulted in massive displacement of people and extensive damage to infrastructure across Ukraine.
