About Topic

Following weeks of military build-up along the border of Ukraine, Russia launched attack on its neighbour on February 24, 2022. The military flare-up between Russia and Ukraine dates back to 2014, when the former annexed Crimea. In January 2021, the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appealed the U.S. to let it join NATO, a move that irked Russia, which has repeatedly demanded NATO to give up its military activities in eastern Europe and Ukraine.

President Joe Biden speaks before signing a $95 billion Ukraine aid package that also includes support for Israel, Taiwan, and other allies, in the State Dining Room of the White House on April 24, 2024, in Washington.
