Today is the sad day where we enter the 5th year of the Russian full scale invasion of Ukraine.
And where everyday Ukrainians die to defend their country and right to exist.
Edit: Added “full scale” for accuracy.
@Buffalox @wildflower it’s the 12th year…
Since Crimea which was a semi autonomous part of Ukraine yes. But since the full scale invasion into mainland Ukraine it’s been 4 years, it’s on the dates shown on the graphic posted every day. And those are official posted by the Ukraine Military command.
But you are right that the full scale invasion is not the first time Russia has invaded Ukraine.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Ukrainian_war according to Wikipedia it’s 12th year. There was no real peace since 2014.
Yes that is true, so I edited my original post to say full scale invasion.
@Buffalox well no, the same year Russia began the war, they invaded parts of Donbas, and war has been going on since 2014. The same war.
They supported local rebels and fed misinformation in the region, AFAIK Russia did not themselves invade Donbas until the full scale invasion.
@Buffalox that is the Russian narrative, yes. But there is ample evidence that Russian servicemen and entire russian units took part in the invasion of Donbas. Most of the “local rebels” were actually Russian serving citizens. After all, “local rebels” can not operate complex weapon systems like attack helicopters, integrated long range air defence systems etc, it takes quite a bit of training to operate efficiently.
Still it wasn’t considered outright war between Ukraine and Russia at the time, more like skirmishes. Everybody knows that Russia meddled heavily.
You can compare it to the border dispute between India and China, where there also is fighting, although it is only with primitive weapons like canes, there are casualties.
China and India is not considered to be at war, but they very definitely have a very serious border dispute over a piece of land the British gave to China when India was a British colony.
@Buffalox I would argue that you can and should label it a war. A significant part of Ukraine had been illegally occupied (Krym), another part was invaded and partially occupied (Donbas, which is two regions), military confrontation with advanced weapons systems was a fact.
These official numbers are what is referred to when saying we are entering the 5th year.
Yes there were problems before that, that could also be labelled war, but there’s a huge difference between before the 24.02.2022 and after. With a thousand casualties every day for 4 years.
I’m not saying you are wrong, but you are kind of changing the subject.
Donbas was not an existential problem for Ukraine, the full scale invasion is.
