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 was not independent during WW2, therefore it did not have a leader. It was a part of Russia

The conflict between Ukraine and Russia began in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea following Ukraine's Euromaidan protests, which led to the ousting of pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych. Tensions escalated as pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine declared independence, leading to armed conflict with Ukrainian forces. Russia's actions were fueled by geopolitical interests, including the desire to maintain influence over Ukraine and prevent its integration with Western institutions like NATO and the EU. The situation has since evolved into a broader confrontation, impacting regional and global stability.
Ukraine was one of the republics which comprised the Soviet Union. It never actually "belonged to" Russia.
Ukraine was part of the Russian empire for centuries, and was also part of the USSR. It became independent in 1991, when the Soviet Union dissolved after the Cold War. There has been tension between Ukraine’s old ties to Russia and new allegiances with Western nations ever since.
Officially, there is not a war between Ukraine and Russia. However, Russia has claimed territory from Ukraine based on a referendum that did not meet the standards required by international law, and Russia appears to be illegally assisting Ukrainian rebels who are aligned with Russia against the Ukrainian government.
