Timeline of the Russian invasion of Ukraine

On 24 February 2022, Russia launched a military invasion of Ukraine in a steep escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War. The campaign had been preceded by a Russian military buildup since early 2021[1] and numerous Russian demands for security measures and legal prohibitions against Ukraine joining NATO.[2]

Prelude

2021

November

  • 10 November – The United States reports an unusual movement of Russian troops near Ukraine's borders.[3] By 28 November 2021, the Ukrainian border has a reported build-up of 92,000 Russian troops.

December

  • 7 December – US President Joe Biden warns President of Russia Vladimir Putin of "strong economic and other measures" if Russia attacks Ukraine.[4]
  • 17 December 2021 -- Putin proposes a prohibition on Ukraine joining NATO, which Ukraine rejects.[4]

2022

January

  • 17 January – Russian troops begin arriving in Russia's ally Belarus, ostensibly "for military exercises".[5]
  • 19 January – the US gives Ukraine $200 million in security aid.[5]
  • 19 January – Biden states in a press conference: "Russia will be held accountable if it invades. And it depends on what it does."
  • 24 January – NATO puts troops on standby.[5]
  • 25 January – Russian exercises involving 6,000 troops and 60 jets take place in Russia near Ukraine and Crimea.[5]

February

  • 10 February – Russia and Belarus begin 10 days of military maneuvers.[5]
  • 17 February – fighting escalates in separatist regions of eastern Ukraine.[5]
  • 21 February – Vladimir Putin ordered Russian forces to enter the separatist republics in eastern Ukraine.[6] He also announced[7] Russian recognition of the two pro-Russian breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine (the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic).[8] This announcement led to the first round of economic sanctions from NATO countries the following day.

Initial invasion

Southeastern front

2022 Ukrainian counteroffensives

Second stalemate

2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive

In early June 2023, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine launched a substantial counteroffensive against Russian forces occupying its territory with a long-term goal of breaching the frontlines.[9][10][11][12][13]
