Dawn Missile Strikes on Multiple Cities
On February 24, 2022, Russian forces launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, beginning with dozens of missile strikes on cities across the country. The attacks targeted military and civilian infrastructure, signaling the start of a major military operation.
Escalating Conflict in Donbas
The invasion follows months of escalating tensions in the eastern Donbas region, where Russian-backed separatists have been fighting Ukrainian forces since 2014. A Russian offensive in the east began on Sunday, with forces engaging along a 300-mile front line.
