February 24, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The war follows on Russian territorial aggression against its neighbor that began in 2014 with the illegal annexation of Crimea and a proxy war in the eastern Donbas region.
Tracking developments in the Ukraine war, the Brookings Institution — in partnership with The Washington Post — presents the Ukraine Index, which compiles security, economic, and political data presented in graphic form. Our purpose is to provide updated information on such key metrics as changes in the control of Ukrainian territory by the two sides, the amount of support for Ukraine from the U.S. and Europe as well the political support for continued aid, and the health of the Ukrainian economy. Our Ukraine Index is intended to contribute to our understanding of this conflict, and thereby to a more informed public debate.
