The ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia, which began in 2014 and escalated significantly with Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, has placed tremendous pressure on Ukraine and its allies.

We aim to dissect these dynamics, providing an in-depth analysis of the various dimensions of military, economic, and diplomatic support, and how they align or diverge from Ukrainian expectations.
