About the failure of the Russian offensive on Kyiv to the terrible siege of Mariupol, from the battle in the Donbass to the counterattacks of Kyiv in the south, an overview of the main battles that marked the war in Ukraine.
February 24 at dawn, the President of Russia Vladimir Putin announces a “military operation” in Ukraine to protect separatist “republics” in the east of that country, whose independence it recognized three days earlier.
Putin demands that Crimea, annexed Russia in 2014 to be recognized by Ukraine as a territory of Russia. He also calls for the “denazification” of the Ukrainian government, which Ukraine have a “neutral status” and guarantee that they will never enter NATO.
The offensive sparks international outrage, and the European Union (EU) says it will finance the purchase and delivery of weapons to Ukraine. The United States announces $2.3 billion in military aid.
The West is beginning to apply ever-tougher economic sanctions against Russia.
On February 28, the first talks between Russia and Ukraine will take place.
But on March 3, the Russians capture the large city of Kherson (south) in a key area for Ukrainian agriculture and strategically important because it borders Crimea.
On June 23, the leaders of 27 EU countries announce that they will grant Ukraine the status of a candidate member of the bloc.
The Russian army is trying to surround the capital Kyiv, but is met with fierce resistance.
April 2 Ukraine announces the restoration of control over the region. Since then, Moscow has concentrated its offensive in the south and in the Donbas basin, which has been partly controlled by pro-Russian separatists since 2014.
After the Russians left, dozens of bodies of civilians are found in Bucha and other cities near Kyiv. The International Criminal Court (ICC) is launching an investigation.
From the beginning of the offensive, the Russian army laid siege to Mariupol (southeast). The fall of this port on the shores of the Sea of Azov would allow connecting Crimea with the separatist regions of Donbass.
Tens of thousands of people are trapped in the city, where Russian troops are bombing a theater and a maternity hospital.
About 2,500 Ukrainian militants, who have settled in the Azovstal metallurgical plant, along with a thousand civilians, continue to resist until mid-May.
On May 20, Russia announced the seizure of the steel plant. According to Kyiv, 90% of Mariupol was destroyed, at least 20 thousand people died in the siege. The EU condemns the “great war crime”.
On March 30, the United States accuses Russia at the UN of causing the “global food crisis”.
About 20 million tons of grain are blocked in the ports of the Odessa region due to the presence of Russian warships and mines laid by Kyiv to protect its coast.
On July 22, both countries signed an agreement on the resumption of grain exports under the auspices of the UN and mediated by Turkey. The first dry cargo ship with 26,000 tons of corn leaves Odessa in early August.
Western countries accuse Russia of using energy supplies as a “weapon” in response to sanctions. Russian gas exports to Europe are declining.
On June 3, the EU approves the sixth package of sanctions against Moscow, which includes a gradual embargo on oil.
On July 3, Russian troops announce that they have taken full control of the Lugansk region (in the Donbass) after capturing the cities of Severodonetsk and Lysichansk.
Moscow’s next target is Donetsk to dominate the entire mining region.
In July, Ukrainian troops launch a counteroffensive in the south and recapture dozens of villages.
The US and the EU are accelerating the supply of heavy weapons to Ukraine.
In August, explosions of unknown origin damaged a Russian airbase and weapons depot in Crimea.
Since the beginning of August, both belligerents have been accusing each other of bombing the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant (south), the largest in Europe, occupied by the Russians since March.
Ukraine claims that Russia stores heavy weapons at the plant and bombs Ukrainian positions from there, which Russia denies.
On August 18, Zelensky calls on the UN to “guarantee the safety” of the plant.
On the same day in Lviv (west), Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan confirms that his country is on the side [sus] Ukrainian Friends” (AFP).
