This chart shows the number of "Shahed" type kamikaze drone strikes carried out by Russia in Ukraine since Jan. 2024, by month. After Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, Ukraine has seen a military conflict between the government and the Russia-supported separatist regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. Disagreements over territories and the NATO membership debate played a major role in the conflict developing into the Ukraine war. There have been over 12,600 civilian deaths in Ukraine, sanctions have been imposed on Russia, and global commodity markets have been affected by the Russian invasion.
