Russian President Vladimir Putin officially announced his invasion of Ukraine on Thursday, February 24th. In the preceding days, approximately 100,000 Russian troops had already been positioned on Ukraine's eastern border.

Citing data from the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), the number of Russian troops reached 900,000 personnel in 2020.

This comprised the Army (AD) with 280,000 personnel, the Navy (AL) with 150,000, and the Air Force (AU) with 165,000. The remaining troops consisted of the Strategic Rocket Forces, Special Operations Forces, Airborne Forces, and others.

Ukraine is outmatched by Russia in terms of personnel, with only 209,000 troops; 145,000 in the Army (AD), 11,000 in the Navy (AL), and 45,000 in the Air Force (AU). The remainder, 8,000, are Airborne Forces.

The conflict between Ukraine and Russia has been ongoing since 2014. That year, Russia annexed Crimea, previously Ukrainian territory. In the same year, pro-Russian separatists in Donetsk and Luhansk declared independence from Ukraine.
