Notes

1. ^ The Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic are separatist states that declared their independence in May 2014. They have received recognition from each other, from the de facto state of South Ossetia, and from Russia (since 2022).
2. Russian forces were permitted to stage part of the invasion from Belarusian territory. Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko also stated that Belarusian troops could take part in the invasion if needed, and Belarusian territory was used to launch missiles into Ukraine. Ukrainian officials have claimed that Belarusian troops have entered Ukraine. See also: Belarusian involvement in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine
3. Outside of Ukraine, there was spillover into Millerovo and Belgorod
