Who started the Ukraine russio war
ChatGPT said:
The war between Russia and Ukraine began in 2014, not 2022 as is sometimes assumed. Here's a breakdown:
Initial Conflict – 2014:
Who started it: The conflict began when Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in March 2014. This move followed Ukraine’s 2014 Euromaidan revolution, which ousted the pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych.
International view: The annexation was widely condemned by the international community as a violation of international law and Ukraine’s sovereignty.
Donbas conflict: Shortly afterward, Russia-backed separatists in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of eastern Ukraine declared independence, leading to a war in Donbas. Russia was widely accused of supporting the separatists with weapons, fighters, and military support, though it denied direct involvement.
Full-Scale Invasion – 2022:
Who started it: On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. This action was ordered by Russian President Vladimir Putin, citing reasons like NATO expansion, the protection of Russian speakers, and "denazification" of Ukraine—claims widely rejected by Ukraine and much of the global community.
Result: This marked the beginning of a much larger and more destructive phase of the war, drawing global sanctions against Russia and widespread international support for Ukraine.
In summary: Russia initiated both the 2014 annexation of Crimea and the 2022 full-scale invasion, making it the primary aggressor in the Ukraine-Russia war.
