The Russo-Ukrainian War (also known as the Russian-Ukrainian War) is an ongoing armed conflict in eastern Ukraine and in Crimea between Russia, and pro-Russian rebels on one side; and Ukraine, with support from its Western allies (United States and European Union), on the other.
The Russo–Ukrainian War is an ongoing war in Ukraine and Crimea. The war began on 20 February 2014, when Russian military forces occupied the Ukrainian territory of Crimea and subsequently annexed the territory. The conflict also rapidly spread to parts of eastern Ukraine, where a pro-Russian insurgency group declared independence from Ukraine, calling itself Novorossiya.
The origins of the war lie in the disintegration of Ukraine and in the Ukrainian–Russian relationship, in particular, the crisis of confidence in Russian–Ukrainian relations, which escalated into a separatist conflict after the 2014 Ukrainian revolution and Russia's military intervention.
In response to the Euromaidan revolution, Russia annexed Crimea as a constituent republic of the Russian Federation on March 18, 2014. Russia's military intervention in Ukraine is often described as a war between Russia and Ukraine by media and third parties. For this reason, many English-language news sources refer to the conflict as the Ukrainian Crisis
On 7 February 2014 the Parliament of Ukraine deposed President Yanukovych and called for presidential elections. Putin was quoted as saying that the revolution was a "coup". In late February, Russia began to send military and humanitarian aid to Crimea.

Since the start of the armed conflict in April 2014, UN agencies have helped to ensure those wounded can receive medical help and all impacted communities can get access to clean water, shelter, health services and other essential aid.
The war started with the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation and the subsequent War in Donbass between pro-Russian separatists, supported by Russia, and the Ukrainian government. The Russian-Ukrainian conflict is considered part of a global power struggle between Russia and the West, which has continued since the Cold War. The economic issues experienced by Ukraine in 2013–2014 are seen as the main factors that contributed to the start of conflict.
The reasons for the war are rooted in political and historical conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, such as the Russian annexation of Crimea, the violent dispersal of anti-government protesters during Euromaidan in Ukraine, and subsequent removal of Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.
