Ukraine Crisis
The current Ukraine crisis poses a unique threat to international security — from the potentially devastating human costs and the involvement of a major nuclear power, to the significant geopolitical and economic ramifications the war could entail for the entire world. To help track these trends as they develop, ACLED has created a dedicated research hub to provide near real-time information on the conflict, including a curated data file, interactive data visualization tools, and weekly analysis of violence patterns in Ukraine, Russia, and the broader region.
ACLED partners with a wide range of organizations to collect information in hard-to-access contexts and integrate thematic, regional, and country-level expertise into our data collection program. Click through the list to learn more about our partners in Europe & Central Asia.
ACLED’s last data updates for 2024 were released on 16 and 17 December. Data for the period of 14 December 2024 through 10 January 2025 will be released on 13 and 14 January 2025, after which regular weekly updates will resume.
