the Donbas War. The first eight years of conflict
also included naval incidents, cyberwarfare, and
heightened political tensions. Russian troops
retreated from the northern front by April. In
March and April 2021, Russia began a major
military build-up near the Russo-Ukrainian
border. A second build-up followed from October
2021 to February 2022, in both Russia and
Belarus.  The main infantry and tank attacks were
launched in four spearhead incursions, creating a
northern front launched towards Kyiv, a southern
front originating in Crimea, a south-eastern
front launched at the cities of Luhansk and
