Extracts from Global Conflict Tracker Last updated March 25, 2022

Armed conflict in eastern Ukraine erupted in early 2014 following Russia’s annexation of Crimea...

One month later, in March 2014, Russian troops took control of Ukraine’s Crimea region...

Armed conflict in the region quickly broke out between Russian-backed forces and the Ukrainian military...

Beginning in February 2015, France, Germany, Russia, and Ukraine attempted to kickstart negotiations and broker a cessation in violence through the Minsk Accords...

In April 2016, NATO announced that the alliance would deploy four battalions to Eastern Europe, rotating troops through Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland to deter possible future Russian aggression elsewhere in Europe, particularly in the Baltics...

In September 2017, the United States also deployed two U.S. Army tank brigades to Poland to further bolster NATO’s presence in the region...

In January 2018, the United States imposed new sanctions on twenty-one individuals–including a number of Russian officials–and nine companies linked to the conflict in eastern Ukraine.

Ukraine has been the target of thousands of cyberattacks...

In October 2021, Russia began moving troops and military equipment near its border with Ukraine, reigniting concerns over a potential invasion...

By December, more than one hundred thousand Russian troops were in place near the Russia-Ukraine border and U.S. intelligence officials warned that Russia may be planning an invasion for early 2022. In mid-December 2021, Russia’s foreign ministry issued a set of demands calling for the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to cease any military activity in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, to commit against further NATO expansion toward Russia, and to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO in the future. The United States and other NATO allies rejected these demands and warned Russia they would impose severe economic sanctions if Russia invaded Ukraine...

Since Russia launched a full-scale military invasion into Ukraine on February 24, 2022, fighting has caused over nine hundred civilian deaths and pushed millions of Ukrainians to flee to neighboring countries—the majority of whom have arrived in Poland, a NATO country where U.S. troops are preparing to offer assistance to refugees.

Rappel des faits historiques nécessaire. L’invasion de l’Ukraine était préparée depuis plusieurs années. J’apprécie beaucoup le symbole de la Crimée amputée. Vraiment bravo.
