On February 21, 2022, Russian President Vladmir Putin formally recognized the Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic as independent states. As these territories are claimed by Ukraine, this act could escalate the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Such a conflict could lead to displacement of civilians both within Ukraine and beyond.
