Notes

1. ^ The Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic were Russian-controlled puppet states that declared their independence in May 2014. 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 it had formally annexed both entities.
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 has been used to launch missiles into Ukraine.
