The Ukraine Conflict refers to the ongoing political and military struggle involving Ukraine, which escalated significantly in 2014 following Russia’s annexation of Crimea. It encompasses various events, including the war in the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, where pro-Russian separatist movements emerged. The conflict stems from a complex mix of historical, cultural, and geopolitical factors, including Ukraine’s relationship with the European Union and NATO, its historical ties with Russia, and internal divisions within Ukraine itself.
