However, tensions between the two countries date back to 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea and supported separatist movements in eastern Ukraine including Donetsk and Luhansk.

- Tuesday, 01 April 2025
Russian President Vladimir Putin has called up 160,000 men aged 18-30 for military service, the highest number since 2011. The conscripts will not be sent to fight in Ukraine's "special military operation" immediately, but there have been reports of conscripts being killed in border regions and fighting in Ukraine. Despite US attempts at a ceasefire, Russia has not agreed to one, and the violence continues with Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities.
