Maritime engagements during the conflict / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Naval warfare in the Russian invasion of Ukraine began on 24 February 2022, when the Russian Armed Forces launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, in a major escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War, which began in 2014. Media reporting of and focus on the invasion has largely been on the terrestrial and aerial aspects[1] – however, maritime engagements have been consequential during the conflict.
