Since February 2014, Russia (along with Russian separatists in Ukraine) and Ukraine have been engaged in the Russo-Ukrainian War, also known as the Russia-Ukraine War. Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine and supported pro-Russian separatists in the war in Donbas against Ukrainian government forces.During the first eight years of the conflict, there were also incidents involving the navy, cyber warfare, and increased political tensions. Bilateral tensions increased throughout 2021 as a result of a Russian military buildup near the border with Ukraine. On February 24, 2022, the conflict experienced a significant escalation when Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia sent troops to the territories of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic on February 21, 2022, after declaring them to be independent states.After three days, Putin reported a "extraordinary military activity" in Ukraine during a broadcast, denoting the beginning of a full-scale attack of Ukraine.International condemnation of the invasion resulted in numerous nations imposing sanctions on Russia and increasing existing sanctions. Belarus was also subjected to sanctions and boycotts for its participation in the invasion.Since February 2014, Russia (along with Russian separatists in Ukraine) and Ukraine have been engaged in the Russo-Ukrainian War, also known as the Russia-Ukraine War.
