The armed conflict in Ukraine first erupted in early 2014 and quickly transitioned to a long stalemate, with regular shelling and skirmishes occurring along the front line that separates Russian- and Ukrainian-controlled border regions in the east. Since Russia launched a full-scale military invasion into Ukraine on 24 February, 2022, fighting has caused more than 100 civilian casualties and pushed tens of thousands of Ukrainians to flee to neighboring countries including Poland, a NATO country where U.S. troops are preparing to offer assistance. On 24 February, during a United Nations Security Council meeting to dissuade Russia from attacking Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the beginning of a full-scale land, sea and air invasion of Ukraine. From the failed diplomacy, the ongoing military operations, the humanitarian crisis and to the world response over Ukraine dive into the context of the Russian invasion into the sovereign country of Ukraine.
