How did the war in Ukraine start?
 In 2021, Russia started a large-scale military build-up near the border with eastern Ukraine, generating great concern in Ukraine, Europe and across the world. On 21 February 2022, after weeks of extreme tensions, President Vladimir Putin decided to recognise the non-government controlled areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts (administrative regions) in Ukraine as independent entities and to send Russian troops into those areas. This followed a positive vote by the Russian State Duma (the lower house of the Russian parliament) on 15 February. On 24 February 2022, Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine. What does the EU say about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine?The EU strongly condemns Putin’s decision to recognise the non-government controlled areas of Donetsk and Luhansk and Russia's unprovoked and unjustified military aggression against Ukraine. It also condemns Belarus' involvement in Russia's military aggression. Since February 2022, the European Council and the Council of the European Union have been meeting regularly to discuss the situation in Ukraine from different perspectives.
EU leaders demanded on several occasions that Russia immediately cease its military actions, unconditionally withdraw all forces and military equipment from Ukraine and fully respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence. They emphasised the right of Ukraine to choose its own destiny and commended the people of Ukraine for their courage in defending their country. In response to the military aggression, the EU has massively expanded sanctions against Russia, by adding a significant number of persons and entities to the sanctions list, and by adopting unprecedented measures. The EU has shown unity and strength and has provided Ukraine with humanitarian, political, financial and military support.
The EU is committed to continue to show solidarity and provide support to the refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine and the countries hosting them. It is also coordinating with partners and allies, within the UN, OSCE, NATO and the G7. On several occasions, the European Council condemned Russia’s indiscriminate attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure, and reiterated that international humanitarian law must be respected. EU leaders underlined that Russia, Belarus and all those responsible for war crimes and the other most serious crimes will be held to account for their actions in accordance with international law. What measures has the EU taken against Russia?The EU has adopted six packages of sanctions in response to the recognition of the non-government controlled areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts and Russia’s unprecedented and unprovoked military attack on Ukraine. The measures are designed to weaken Russia's economic base, depriving it of critical technologies and markets, and significantly curtailing its ability to wage war. First package (23 February 2022)
Second package (25 February 2022)
Third package (28 February and 2 March 2022)
Sanctions against Belarus (9 March 2022)

How is the EU responding to the war's market impact?Infographic - How the Russian invasion of Ukraine has further aggravated the global food crisis The Russian invasion of Ukraine is having a disruptive effect on global markets. Since the conflict began, there has been a sharp increase in world prices for key commodities, in particular fuels. Recent increases are putting new pressure on markets, after they already experienced historically high prices for energy and fertilisers in 2021. The war has also caused uncertainty about the security of the energy supply. Russia, which is the EU’s main supplier of fossil fuels, has suspended gas delivery to a number of EU member states, prompting the EU to quickly respond to secure supply in all countries. Russia's attacks to crops and transport infrastructure have hampered Ukraine's ability to export its agri-food production, which has further aggravated the global food crisis. The European Council and the Council of the EU immediately reacted to growing prices and concerns over food and energy supplies. In March 2022, EU leaders agreed to phase out the EU’s dependency on Russian fossil fuel imports. At the Special meeting of the European Council in May 2022, leaders reviewed progress on strengthening the EU's energy independence and called for more diversification of energy supply sources, faster deployment of renewables and improved interconnections of energy networks. They also called for effective international coordination to ensure a comprehensive global response to food security challenges. At the European Council meeting held on 23-24 June 2022, EU leaders urged Russia to immediately stop targeting agricultural facilities and to unblock the Black Sea ports to permit the export of Ukrainian grain. EU leaders underlined that EU sanctions against Russia allow the free flow of agricultural and food products and the delivery of humanitarian assistance.
