The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to the Russo-Ukrainian war.

The war is an ongoing international conflict between Russia (alongside Russian-backed separatists) and Ukraine which began in February 2014. Following Ukraine's Revolution of Dignity, Russia annexed Ukrainian Crimea and supported pro-Russian separatists fighting the Ukrainian military in the Donbas war. The first eight years of conflict included naval incidents, cyberwarfare, and heightened political tensions. In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in a major escalation of the conflict.
