    Russia's military, known as the Russian Armed Forces, is one of the largest and most

    powerful military forces in the world. It consists of several branches:

    1. Russian Ground Forces: This branch includes military ground operations and is the

    largest component of the Russian Armed Forces. It is made up of infantry, tanks, artillery,

    missile troops and various specialized units.

    2. Russian Aerospace Forces: This branch is responsible for military air and space

    operations. It includes aircraft, helicopters, missile systems and space forces that handle

    satellite operations and space defense systems.

    3. Russian Navy: Encompasses naval operations and includes submarines, surface ships,

    naval aviation and coastal defense forces. The Russian Navy operates in several parts of

    the world, including the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea, the Arctic and the Pacific Ocean.

    4. Strategic Missile Troops: This branch manages Russia's strategic nuclear forces,

    including intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and other nuclear delivery systems.

    5. Specialized forces: In addition to these main branches, Russia has specialized forces

    such as the Special Operations Forces (Spetsnaz), which are elite units trained for various

    missions, including counterterrorism, reconnaissance, and special operations.

    The Russian military underwent major modernizations and reforms in the early 2000s to

    improve its capabilities. It has demonstrated its military strength through various

    operations, such as its participation in conflicts in Syria, military exercises and displays of

    advanced weaponry.The military plays an important role in Russia's defense strategy and

    The war in Ukraine began in 2014 after Russia's annexation of Crimea and the outbreak of

    armed conflict in the easter regionsofUkraine,specificallyinDonetskandLuhansk,wherepro-

    Russian separatist groupsdeclared independence, challenging the sovereignty of Ukraine.

    Major events include:

    1. Annexation of Crimea: In February and March 2014, following protests and political

    changes in Ukraine, Russia intervened militarily and annexed the Crimean peninsula,

    leading to strong international condemnation and sanctions against Russia.

    2. Conflict in eastern Ukraine: After the annexation of Crimea, a conflict broke out in the

    eastern regions of Donetsk and Lugansk, where separatist groups, allegedly supported by

    Russia, clashed with Ukrainian government forces. This conflict has been complex and

    has involved battles, violence and constant tensions.

    3. Russian intervention: Despite official denials, Ukraine and several Western countries

    accuse Russia of supporting separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine by supplying weapons,

    military personnel and logistical support. Russia has consistently denied these

    accusations, although there is evidence of its involvement.

    4. Minsk Agreements: Multiple attempts have been made to reach a peaceful solution

    through the Minsk Agreements, in which ceasefire, heavy withdrawal and other measures

    were agreed to resolve the conflict. However, implementation has been patchy and the

    conflict persists, with sporadic outbreaks of violence.

    The conflict in Ukraine has had a significant impact on the region, with thousands of

    deaths, internally displaced people and geopolitical tensions between Russia, Ukraine and

    several Western countries. Furthermore, it has raised security concerns in Europe and has

    been a major issue in international relations.
