Invasion of Ukraine: A Brief Overview
On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion on Ukraine. The northern part of the assault involved a simultaneous, rapid push from Ukraine’s border from Belarus towards Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, in tandem with an assault coming from Ukraine’s vast eastern border with Russia and a southern assault from the Russian-occupied Crimean peninsula. This vast, multi-pronged operation was quickly undermined by Ukrainian forces holding their ground while Western nations provided funding, supplies and economic sanctions against Russia. In early April, Ukrainian forces began retaking previously Russian-occupied territories captured on the path to Kyiv. As of May 8th, all land captured by Russia above Kyiv has been recaptured by Ukraine.
