About our Ukraine News Today / War with Russia news
Latest news on Ukraine, providing comprehensive coverage of the ongoing Russian invasion, military aid, NATO relations, EU integration process, war developments, and humanitarian crisis updates.
Ukraine, a sovereign nation of 33.4 million people in Eastern Europe, stands at the center of global attention amid its defensive war against Russian aggression. The country, led by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, continues to defend its territory while pursuing closer integration with Western institutions, including the European Union, which granted Ukraine candidate status in June 2022.
The ongoing conflict has reshaped global geopolitics and dominated international headlines since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022. Ukraine's armed forces, supported by Western military aid, have demonstrated remarkable resilience, though Russian forces currently occupy about 17% of Ukraine's internationally recognized territory. The conflict has triggered unprecedented international sanctions against Russia and catalyzed significant military support for Ukraine from NATO countries, particularly the United States, United Kingdom, and Poland.
Beyond the battlefield, Ukraine's story is one of remarkable civil resilience and cultural preservation. Despite the challenges of war, Ukrainian society maintains its vibrant cultural traditions, from its distinctive cuisine and traditional crafts like pysanky (Easter eggs) to its rich literary heritage. The country's tech sector has shown particular resilience, continuing operations both inside Ukraine and through relocated staff, contributing nearly 5% to the nation's GDP even during wartime.
Ukraine's modern history is marked by its emergence from Soviet rule in 1991 and subsequent journey toward democracy and European integration. The country has weathered significant challenges, including the 2004 Orange Revolution and the 2014 Revolution of Dignity, which solidified its pro-Western orientation. These events, along with the ongoing resistance to Russian aggression, have strengthened Ukraine's national identity and democratic aspirations.
