Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022. However, the conflict started earlier β€” Russia annexed Crimea in March 2014 and backed separatists in eastern Ukraine (Donbas) from April 2014, leading to years of lower-intensity conflict before the 2022 escalation.

How long has the Ukraine war lasted?

As of March 2026, the full-scale invasion has lasted over 740 days (approximately 2 years and 1 month). The broader conflict, including the 2014 Donbas phase, has been ongoing for over 12 years.

How many events have been recorded in the Ukraine war?

The ACLED database has recorded over 80,000 distinct conflict events in Ukraine since February 24, 2022, covering armed clashes, explosions, air and drone strikes, and violence against civilians.

Which region of Ukraine has been most affected by the war?

Donetsk Oblast has consistently been the most conflict-affected region, accounting for the largest share of recorded events and fatalities. Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Mykolaiv oblasts have also experienced intense hostilities.
