Conflict Watchlist 2022 | Mid-year update
Note: At the time of the original report’s publication, Russian threats against Ukraine had not yet translated into significant shifts in conflict trends on the ground. Since then, the Russian military launched a full-scale invasion, resulting in a major escalation of hostilities across the country. To track these developments, we created the Ukraine Crisis Hub — a dedicated platform for data and analysis on the conflict featuring curated datasets, interactive visualization tools, methodology resources, and more. Access all ACLED data directly through our export tool, curated files, and find more information about ACLED methodology in our Knowledge base.
