Enrichment Data:
- Overall context: The conflict between Ukraine and Russia, also known as the Donbass War or the Ukrainian Crisis, first erupted in late 2013 following the ousting of pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych. The ongoing conflict mainly takes place in Eastern Ukraine, particularly in the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, and has led to thousands of casualties and the displacement of millions of people.
- Major player involvement: The primary combatants are the Russian Federation (and pro-Russian separatists) on one side, and Ukraine with support from countries such as the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the European Union on the other.
- Key issues: The primary disputes revolve around territorial control, the political status of Eastern Ukraine, and the rights of ethnic Russians living in the region.
- Ceasefire negotiations: Despite several attempts, a lasting peace has not yet been achieved. A series of ceasefire agreements have been breached by both parties, citing violence from the other side as justification for the violations. International (primarily European and American) efforts are continuously focused on facilitating negotiations, ending the violence, and finding a lasting solution.
- Territorial control: As of March 31, 2025, Russian forces control approximately 112,453 square kilometers (roughly 18.6% of Ukraine's land) [1]. Recent gains have been minimal, with Russian forces adding about 73 square miles of territory in the past month [1].
- Economic impact: The conflict has had significant economic consequences for both Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine has faced economic decline and instability, while Russia's economy has also suffered due to international sanctions and decreased investment [1].
