What caused the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine?

Ukraine was one of the administrative units of the Soviet Union from it’s foundation in 1922 until it was dissolved in 1991. After this, Ukraine became an independent state, a country in it’s own right, which is now controlled by a Unitary semi-presidential republic, with Volodymyr Zelenskyy as President since 2019.

Since its independence in 1991, Ukraine has experienced its fair share of problems, such as the Orange Revolution from November 2004 to January 2005 and the Euromaidan protests which lasted from November 2013 to mid-2014, and resulted in the Revolution of Dignity, in which the pro-Russian President, Viktor Yanukovych, was ousted, due to widespread opposition of his policy of moving away from working with the European Union, in favour of establishing a much closer relationship with the Russian Federation.

After Yanukovych was ousted, President Putin of Russia began planning for the annexation of Crimea— and this is where the Russo-Ukrainian war begins.
