On 24 February 2022, the Russian Federation launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, mounting missile attacks on a large part of Ukrainian territory, including its capital, Kyiv. Responding to the Russian aggression, the European Union, United States and other countries soon started providing Ukraine with economic and military assistance, at the same time imposing harsh sanctions against Russia. A great many civilians were killed in brutal Russian attacks and several million people left their homes in Ukraine fleeing the aggression.
