The geopolitical chessboard explodes. Vladimir Putin started military operations in Ukrainian territory under the premise of guaranteeing Russia's 'security', triggering an immediate crisis that has already mobilized NATO and caused drastic sanctions from the United States.

The accumulated tension on the borders finally broke diplomacy. The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, confirmed the start of military operations in Ukraine, justifying the action as a necessary measure to ensure the stability and security of his nation.

The response in Kyiv was immediate. Ukrainian authorities declared a state of emergency, issuing an urgent alert for the civilian population to evacuate conflict zones, mainly concentrated in the east of the country.

Actor Action / Position
Russia Start of military operations and troop deployment.
Ukraine State of emergency and evacuation of the east.
USA Formal condemnation and implementation of economic sanctions.
United Kingdom Request for de-escalation and promise of support to Kyiv.

The international community wasted no time in aligning against what they describe as a direct aggression. The United States government has already implemented economic sanctions against the Kremlin, while the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, urged Putin to halt the military advance.

Critical points of the current crisis include:

  • The calling of an emergency meeting by NATO.
  • The massive displacement of Ukrainian citizens in border areas.
  • The preventive economic blockade led by the West.
