Russia-Ukraine War

The Russia-Ukraine War, which began in 2014 and escalated significantly in 2022, has been a defining conflict of the 21st century. Originating from tensions over Ukraine's political alignment with the West and Russia’s geopolitical ambitions, the war has led to widespread destruction and a humanitarian crisis. The 2022 invasion by Russia marked a dramatic escalation, triggering global responses, including sanctions, military aid to Ukraine, and diplomatic efforts to mediate peace. The conflict has had profound impacts not only on the two countries involved but also on global security, energy markets, and international relations. The war is a complex blend of territorial disputes, national sovereignty, and historical grievances, making it a critical point of study for understanding modern geopolitical dynamics.
