The recent conflict that began with the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in 2022 has led to significant geopolitical tensions. Russia launched a large-scale military assault on Ukraine on February 24, 2022, aiming to assert control over parts of the country and influence its government. This invasion was met with widespread condemnation from the international community, resulting in severe economic sanctions against Russia and considerable military and humanitarian support for Ukraine. The conflict has exacerbated global energy prices, disrupted food supply chains, and caused significant loss of life and displacement. It has also reignited discussions about European security and NATO's role in the region.
