On February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a “special military operation” in the occupied Donbass. Russia launched missile attacks on Ukrainian territory and launched a direct, full-scale invasion on four fronts. The armed forces of Ukraine are repelling the enemy: the blitzkrieg plan to capture Kiev in two or three days failed, the Russian army retreated from the capital, suffered a crushing defeat in the Kharkov direction, and in November 2022, the Ukrainian Armed Forces liberated Kherson and the right bank of the region. The Russian military is committing thousands of war crimes and crimes against humanity throughout Ukraine.
