After Russian military buildups near Ukraine's borders in 2021, on 24 February 2022, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine. Early reports declared it the largest conventional warfare operation in Europe since World War II. It marks a major escalation between the countries that had been in state of conflict since 2014.
- UE, US and Allies have struck Russia with an unprecedented barrage of sanctions in retaliation for its invasion of Ukraine.In an extraordinary meeting on the following day, 16 March 2022, the Committee of Ministers decided, in the context of the procedure launched under Article 8 of the Statute of the Council of Europe, that the Russian Federation would cease to be a member of the Council of Europe with immediate effect, ending the country’s 26 years of membership. (the Russian Federation joined the Council of Europe on 28 February 1996).
