In March 2014, Russian forces seized control of Crimea. Putin justified this move by claiming the need to safeguard the rights of Russian citizens and Russian speakers in Crimea and southeastern Ukraine.

According to Ukraine, the seeds of the conflict were sown with Russia's annexation of Georgia in 2008 and of Crimea in 2014. The intensifying Russian aggression led to Ukraine getting closer to the Western bloc and demanding membership of the European Union and North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.
In March 2014, Russian forces seized control of Crimea. Putin justified this move by claiming the need to safeguard the rights of Russian citizens and Russian speakers in Crimea and southeastern Ukraine. Following a local referendum in which Crimeans voted to join Russia, the peninsula was formally annexed by Russia.
Ukraine's demand for NATO membership became a point of huge contention between Putin and the West. While the West backed Ukraine calling it its 'sovereign right', Russia called it a 'security threat' and warned to invade Kyiv, if it persists with the demand.
