The Ukraine-Russia conflict is a dispute between the two countries over the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014. The conflict began in 2014, when pro-Russian forces occupied the Crimean Peninsula. The Ukrainian government and many Western countries condemned the annexation as illegal, and the UN General Assembly passed a resolution declaring it invalid. The conflict has continued into 2019, with sporadic fighting between Ukrainian and Russian forces.
