Template:Campaignbox Post-Soviet conflictsOn 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. The event started after a long military crisis. Russia supported the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic in the days before the invasion.

There was also an increase of Russian Armed Forces in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine on 21 February 2022. The invasion was condemned (strongly criticised) by many countries. In Russia, many opposition groups formed anti-war protests. Many of the protesters were arrested.[12][13]

Announcement of war[edit]

At about 06:00 Moscow time (UTC+3), Russian president Vladimir Putin announced a military operation in eastern Ukraine. Minutes later, missile strikes began at locations across the country, including in the capital Kyiv. The Ukrainian Border Service stated that its border posts with Russia and Belarus were attacked.[14][15]

Invasion[edit]

Minutes after Putin's announcement, explosions were heard in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odessa and the Donbas.[16] Ukrainian officials said that Russia landed soldiers in Odessa and Mariupol and launched cruise and ballistic missiles at airfields, military headquarters, and military depots in Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Dnipro.[17][18] It is the largest attack by one country against another in Europe since World War II.[19]

President Volodymyr Zelensky said that there would be martial law in Ukraine.[20] Later he ordered the Ukrainian Army to kill as many Russian invaders as possible.[21]

February[edit]

Moments after the invasion on 24 February, the Ukraine government said that Russia captured Chernobyl and Pripyat.[22] After this, the American government said "credible reports that Russian soldiers are currently holding the staff of the Chernobyl facilities hostage."[23] At 22:00 (UTC+2), Russian forces captured Snake Island after a naval and air attack of the island.[24] The thirteen border guards on the island were thought to have been killed in the bombardment after refusing to surrender to a Russian warship. President Zelenskyy announced that the border guards would be posthumously granted the title of Hero of Ukraine, the country's highest honor.[25] However, it was found out later that the border guards were alive and captured by Russian forces.[26][27]

On 25 February, while Russian soldiers approached Kyiv, Zelenskyy asked residents to create Molotov cocktails to "neutralise" the enemy. Putin meanwhile called on the Ukrainian military to overthrow the government.[28][29] Ukraine gave 18,000 guns to Kyiv residents who wanted to fight.[30] Some Russian forces have entered northern Kyiv, but had not progressed beyond that.[31]

On 26 February, heavy fighting was reported to the south of Kyiv, near the city of Vasylkiv and its air base.[32] A Ukrainian Sukhoi Su-27 fighter had shot down a Russian Il-76 transport plane carrying paratroopers near Vasylkiv.[33] Hundreds of deaths were reported in Kyiv during this battle.[34] That same day, Russia claimed to have captured Melitopol, near the Sea of Azov.[35]

On 27 February, President Putin ordered Russia's nuclear deterrent forces to be on "special alert" because of "aggressive statements" by NATO.[36] That same day, President Zelenskyy announced that the Ukrainian and Russian officials had agreed to meet, without conditions.[37] That same day, a Russian airstrike killed over 70 Ukrainian soldiers at a military base in Okhtyrka.[38] The Russian offensive has been criticized for civilian deaths and the use of cluster bombs and thermobaric weapons which may be seen as war crimes.[39]

March[edit]

On 1 March, Belarus joined the invasion, supporting Russia as its soldiers enter the Chernihiv region in Ukraine's north.[40] On the same day, there was at least one rocket attack on Kyiv; With AFP as a source, media wrote that "Russian strike stirs symbolism at Kyiv Holocaust site".[41] The next day, Russia claimed to have captured its first large city, the Black Sea port of Kherson, as fighting intensifies across many parts of Ukraine, including civilian areas.[42] That same day, the International Criminal Court began an investigation into possible war crimes committed in Ukraine.[43]

On 3 March, Ukraine passed a law that states captured Russian military equipment and tanks does not need to be declared and tax will not be applied on them.[44] The next day, Russian forces attacked and bombed the Zaphorizhzhia nuclear power plant. The main reactor was not hit and fallout did not occur.[45] That same day, foreign news outlets including the BBC, CNN, and many others stopped their reporting in Russia, after new legislation threatened 15-year jail terms for spreading "fake news".[46]

On 5 March, Russia announced a temporary ceasefire to allow civilians to leave the cities of Mariupol and Volnovakha.[47][48] The next day, Vinnytsia International Airport was destroyed by Russian missiles, as President Zelenskyy called for a no-fly zone to stop future attacks in Ukraine.[49]

On 7 March, Ukraine rejected a proposal by Moscow to open refugee passages after Russia said refugees would only be allowed to reach Belarus or Russia.[50]

Putin had denied on February 7, that Russian conscripts were used in the invasion, because Russian law does not allow the use of conscripts in battle outside Russia.[51] Russian media later admitted they had been used.

On 13 March, 30 Russian missiles hit the Yavoriv military base, used for NATO training and close to the border with Poland, killing 35 and injuring 134 others.[52]

On 24 March, NATO announced that four new battlegroups totalling 40,000 soldiers will be sent to Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia, along with enhanced readiness for potential chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats.[53][54]

On 29 March, Russia's deputy defense minister said that Moscow decided to "cut back" military activity near Kyiv and Chernihiv to increase mutual trust for future negotiations to agree and sign a peace deal with Ukraine".[55][56]

April[edit]

On 2 April, Russia said that the country would not work with Western countries on the International Space Station until the "full and unconditional removal of illegal sanctions".[57] The next day, Ukraine accused Russia and Putin of war crimes because of civilian killings such as the Bucha massacre.[58][59] U.S. President Joe Biden called for Putin to be tried for war crimes.[60][61] On April 7, Russia was suspended from the United Nations Council on Human Rights. This followed a vote which was backed by 97 nations. [62]

On 8 April, Russia attacked the Kramatorsk train station with missiles, which killed many civilians trying to evacuate, including children.[63][64] On 13 April, the Russian flagship cruiser Moskva, the largest naval vessel to be sunk since the end of World War II, sank after an explosion off of the Ukrainian coast.[65]

On 19 April, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced that Russia's military operation had entered a new phase, focused on the entire front line of Eastern Ukraine with the city of Kreminna reportedly the first to be captured.[66][67]
