Background[edit]
On 24 February, Russia launched a comprehensive invasion of Ukraine, marking a major escalation of the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War. The campaign had been preceded by a prolonged Russian military buildup (since early 2021), as well as numerous Russian demands for security measures and legal prohibitions against Ukraine joining NATO.[1]
Prelude[edit]
- On 14 September 2020, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy approved Ukraine's new National Security Strategy, which included partnership with NATO.[2][3][4]
- On 10 November 2021, the United States reported an unusual movement of Russian troops near the borders of Ukraine.[5] By 28 November, Ukraine had reported a build-up of 92,000 Russian troops.
- On 7 December 2021, US President Joe Biden warned President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, of "strong economic and other measures" if Russia attacks Ukraine.[5]
- On 17 December 2021, Putin proposed limits on NATO's activities in eastern Europe, such as a prohibition on Ukraine ever joining NATO, limits which are rejected by Ukraine.[5]
- On 17 January 2022, Russian troops began arriving in Russia's ally Belarus, ostensibly "for military exercises".[5]
- On 19 January 2022, the US gave Ukraine $200 million in security aid.[5]
- On 19 January 2022, US President Joe Biden stated during a press conference: "And so, I think what you're going to see is that Russia will be held accountable if it invades. And it depends on what it does. It's one thing if it's a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do, et cetera." Many critics of the US president felt this was leaving the door open for President of Russia Vladimir Putin to invade.[6]
- On 24 January 2022, NATO put troops on standby.[5]
- On 25 January 2022, Russian exercises involving 6,000 troops and 60 jets took place in Russia near Ukraine and Crimea.[5]
