The war in Ukraine began in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea following Ukraine's Euromaidan protests and the ousting of pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych. This conflict escalated into a full-scale invasion in February 2022, driven by Russia's desire to assert influence over Ukraine and prevent its closer ties with Western nations. The war is rooted in complex historical, political, and cultural tensions, with issues of national sovereignty and territorial integrity at its core. The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant humanitarian crises and geopolitical ramifications.

The war between Ukraine and Russia, which escalated significantly in 2022, stems from long-standing tensions over Ukraine's political alignment and territorial integrity. After Ukraine's 2014 Euromaidan protests and the subsequent annexation of Crimea by Russia, conflict erupted in Eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russian separatists declared independence. Russia's broader aim appears to be to reassert its influence in the region and prevent Ukraine from integrating further with Western institutions like NATO and the EU. The situation is fueled by historical grievances, national identity issues, and geopolitical power struggles.
Ukraine has never been a province. It was part of USSR, but Ukraine has been independent since 1991.
