On February 23, 2022, the armed forces of the Russian Federation invaded Ukrainian territory, annexing certain regions and cities and carrying out a series of military strikes throughout the country, thus triggering a war in Ukraine. Since then, the clashes between the Russian military and the Ukrainian population have had unprecedented repercussions on the situation of the civilian population and on international relations.
What we want to collect
This collaborative collection aims to collect web content related to this event in order to map the impact of this conflict on digital history and culture.
This collection will be built through the following themes:
- General information about the military confrontations
- Consequences of the war on the civilian population
- Refugee crisis and international relief efforts
- Political consequences
- International relations
- Diaspora communities – Ukrainian people around the world
- Human rights organisations
- Foreign embassies and diplomatic relations
- Sanctions imposed against Russia by foreign powers
- Consequences on energy and agri-food trade
- Public opinion: blogs/protest sites/activists
The list is not exhaustive and it is expected that contributing partners may wish to explore other sub-topics within their own areas of interest and expertise, providing that they are within the general collection development scope.
