Notes

1. ^ The Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic were Russian puppet states, having declared their independence from Ukraine in May 2014. In 2022, they received international recognition from each other, Russia, Syria and North Korea, and some other partially recognised states. On 30 September 2022, after a referendum, Russia declared that it had formally annexed both entities. They continue to exist as republics of Russia.
2. North Korea has been widely reported to be supporting Russia with troops since October 2024.
3. Belarus let Russia use its territory to launch the invasion and to launch missiles into Ukraine. See also: Belarusian involvement in the Russian invasion of Ukraine
4. See § Foreign involvement for more details.
5. Including military, paramilitary, and 34,000 separatist militias.
