Latest Ukraine Conflict News
In the early hours of February 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. Years later, the war is still going on, with Ukraine fighting to maintain its sovereignty.
Russia's invasion was launched by land, air, and sea, pummeling targets in Ukraine, including civilian centers, with missiles and artillery fire. Fighting commenced in Kyiv, Odessa, Kharkiv, and in many other cities across Ukraine. Under the leadership of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainians managed to forcefully resist the invasion attempt and push the Russians into the country's east.
A war of attrition has since been fought, as Russia has held on to large parts of the Ukrainian Oblasts of Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and all of the Crimean peninsula, which Russia invaded in 2014. As the front lines claim thousands of lives, Russia has continued its campaign of terror by bombing Ukrainian cities and killing thousands of civilians.
On the international stage, Russia has met wide-ranging sanctions from across Europe, North and South America, and the Asia-Pacific. Zelensky has continued to rally President Donald Trump's administration in the US for continued aid, equipment, and funds to help support the war effort.
