On 24 February 2022, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine, one of its neighbours to the southwest. Early reports declared it the largest conventional warfare operation in Europe since World War II.It marked a major escalation between the countries, which had been in a state of conflict since 2014. Following the Revolution of Dignity in 2014, Russia had annexed Crimea and Russian-backed separatist forces had seized part of the Donbas in eastern Ukraine, leading to an eight-year war in the region.
The invasion was preceded by Russian military build-ups around Ukraine's borders from early 2021. European countries accused Russia of planning an invasion, but Russian officials repeatedly denied this. During the crisis, Russian president Vladimir Putin condemned the post-1997 enlargement of NATO as a threat to his country's security and demanded Ukraine be barred from joining the military alliance. He also expressed irredentist views,questioned Ukraine's right to exist, and claimed Ukraine was wrongfully created by Soviet Russia. On 21 February 2022, Russia officially recognised the Donetsk and Luhansk people's republics, two self-proclaimed states controlled by pro-Russian forces in the Donbas. The following day, Russia's Federation Council unanimously authorised Putin to use military force outside Russia's borders, and Russia openly sent troops into the breakaway territories.
