2022: The War Begins
On February 24, 2022, Russia suddenly attacked Ukraine, hoping to quickly take Kyiv, but it didn't work. Ukraine fought hard, and the West started sending weapons to help. By the end of the year, Russia controlled some eastern areas but lost parts of Kherson.
2023: Back-and-Forth Fighting
In 2023, both sides kept fighting, but neither made big progress. Ukraine tried to push back, but it didn't go well. Russia held its ground, bombing Ukrainian cities with missiles. Ukraine started hitting back with drones.
2024: Counterattack and Standoff
In the summer of 2024, Ukraine launched a counterattack and even entered Russia's Kursk region, surprising everyone. But Russia stabilized things later, and the front line didn't change much. In winter, both sides used long-range weapons against each other.
2025: Still Fighting
By March 2025, the war hasn't stopped. Drones and missiles are used more, and civilian areas are getting badly hit. Peace talks have no hope, and everyone is exhausted.
