It is part of the Russo-Ukrainian War that started in 2014. The invasion (in 2022) started after the 2021–2022 Russo-Ukrainian crisis. Russia supported the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic in the days before the invasion.

More Russian soldiers came to the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine on 21 February 2022. The invasion was condemned by many countries. In Russia, many opposition groups formed anti-war protests. Many of the protesters were arrested by the Russian government.[5][6]

At about 06:00 Moscow time (UTC+3), Russian president Vladimir Putin announced a military operation in eastern Ukraine. Minutes later, missile strikes began at locations across the country, including in the capital Kyiv.

Minutes after Putin's announcement, explosions were heard in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odessa and the Donbas.[9] Ukrainian officials said that Russia landed soldiers in Odessa and Mariupol and launched cruise and ballistic missiles at airfields, military headquarters, and military depots in Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Dnipro.[10][11] It is the largest attack by one country against another in Europe since World War II.[12]

President Volodymyr Zelensky said that there would be martial law in Ukraine.[13] Later he ordered the Ukrainian Army to kill as many Russian invaders as possible.[14]

President Zelenskyy announced that the border guards would be posthumously granted the title of Hero of Ukraine, the country's highest honor.[18] However, it was found out later that the border guards were alive and captured by Russian forces.[19][20]

On 25 February, while Russian soldiers approached Kyiv, Zelenskyy asked residents to create Molotov cocktails to "neutralise" the enemy.
