Ukrainian Conflict

The term “Ukrainian Conflict” refers to the geopolitical and military tensions and hostilities that have emerged primarily between Ukraine and Russia since 2014. This conflict arose following Russia’s annexation of Crimea and the outbreak of war in the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, where pro-Russian separatists declared independence. The conflict has involved intense fighting, significant casualties, and substantial displacement of people. It also represents broader issues of national sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the influence of foreign powers in the region. The Ukrainian Conflict highlights the complex dynamics of post-Soviet politics, national identity, and international relations, drawing in responses from Western countries and organizations, which have supported Ukraine while imposing sanctions on Russia. The situation remains fluid and is characterized by ongoing military engagements, diplomatic efforts for resolution, and a continuing humanitarian crisis.
