Russia Ukraine Crisis

This section covers the war that broke out in March-April 2022 when Russia began massing large personnel and military equipment on the border with Ukraine and Crimea.  On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine in a major escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War that began in 2014. The invasion caused Europe’s largest refugee crisis since World War II, with more than 6.3 million Ukrainians fleeing the country and a third of the population displaced.
