The claim's time span is contradicted: Britannica dates the Russia-Ukraine War to February 2014 and lists it as ongoing ('February 2014 - present'), and Snopes reports in October 2026 that the war continues. The 2022 date matches only the full-scale invasion, not the war's start or end. The extraction faithfully reflects the post's title.

What we found

Contradicts. Britannica dates the war to February 2014, when disguised Russian troops covertly invaded Crimea, and lists its date as 'February 2014 - present', so it did not begin in 2022.[2]

Contradicts. Snopes reports in October 2026 that the war continues more than four years after the February 2022 full-scale invasion, which contradicts an end date of 2025.[1]

Supports. The full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022, so the 2022 start matches that phase of the conflict.[2]

Context. The Wikipedia timeline and The Week timeline both describe phases of fighting continuing through 2025 and 2026, which also runs against a 2025 end date.[3][4]
