The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine is an open Russian military attack on Ukraine launched on February 24, 2022. The open invasion was part of the Russian-Ukrainian war launched by Russia in 2014 and in which Russia has consistently denied participation.
Since November 2021, along the border of Ukraine with the Russian Federation and Belarus, there has been a long build-up of Russian troops, various media, Western and Ukrainian politicians have repeatedly regarded Russia as preparing for a war with Ukraine. On February 21, 2022, the Russian authorities recognized the terrorist formations on the territory of Ukraine - the "DPR" and "LPR" - as state formations. Almost simultaneously, the undisguised capsizing of additional troops of the Russian fighting forces into the occupied territories of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions begins.
On February 24, around 5:00 Kyiv time, Putin announced that he had decided to launch a military operation in eastern Ukraine, allegedly with the aim of “demilitarizing and denazifying Ukraine.” A few minutes later, rocket attacks began throughout Ukraine, including near Kyiv. The invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine began near Kharkov, Kherson, Chernigov, and Sumy. The armed forces of the Russian Federation entered from Russia, Belarus and the Crimea temporarily occupied by Russia. Together with Russia, Belarus is also waging a war against Ukraine, from the border regions of which missile attacks are launched on the territory of Ukraine, which subsequently sent its troops.
Thanks to the resistance of the Ukrainian army and self-defense forces, already in the first days of the aggression, the Russian army suffered significant losses in manpower and equipment. In its recent history, according to Ukraine's estimates, Russia in all the wars it waged has not yet suffered such large losses in such a short time.
