Current Situation
Russia Started War Against Ukraine
on Feb 24, 2022
Russia officially recognised the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk republics on 21 February 2022, effectively killing the Minsk agreements. Russia subsequently launched a new, full-scale war on Ukraine on 24 February 2022, which Russian president Vladimir Putin said was intended to “protect” the people of the Donbas from the “abuse” and “genocide” of the Ukrainian government. There is no evidence to support Putin’s claims!
