On February 24, Russia launched a mid-scale invasion of Ukraine. After 15 days of the conflict, the refugees are counted by millions and the deceased reach more than three thousand dead and dozens of wounded, without counting the balance of the soldiers of the former Soviet Union.
However, it is not the first war in which Russian President Vladimir Putin has been involved. Since his arrival at the Kremlin in 1999, after the resignation of Boris Yeltsinhis country became a new world power playing a key role in international relations.
How many wars has Russia participated in with Vladimir Putin?
Although in dealing with the countries of the world there must be diplomacy and peaceful solutions to conflicts over territories or other weighty reasons, Putin’s vision is different for solving problems.
According to Public review, the Russian president has several actions in war with other nations. Among the most significant are:
Chechnya: Second Country War
Just a few months before Vladimir took over the presidency, Russia had started the second Chechen war, from 1999 to 2009.

This took place after the invasion made by Chechnya and guerrillas of the International Islamist Brigade in Dagestan. The attacks were carried out on Russian territory, and the Chechens were accused of having helped start the conflict.
This war was officially ended 10 years later.

Conflict in South Ossetia and Abkhazia
The second conflict Putin led was between Georgia, on the one hand, and Russian forces alongside the self-proclaimed pro-Russian republics of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

This happened in 2008, when Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili ordered his army to take command of South Ossetia, which had been an independent territory since 1992.
Although the war only lasted 9 days, it left thousands of refugees and numerous victims to mourn.
war in syria
The war in Syria is one of the armed conflicts that is still active today, and gives no indication of when it may end. It all started in 2011, when the protests against Asad Al Assar generated a military confrontation between the Syrian army and the opposition in that country.
In 2015, Russia intervened directly in the conflict with a series of aerial military operations carried out by its Armed Forces on Syrian territory.
War between Russia and Ukraine 2014 and 2022
The clearest precedent of the current conflict between Russia and the country commanded by Volodimir Zelensky took place in 2014.
Putin took advantage of the political instability in Ukraine to invade Crimea, in the south of the country, and lend his support to pro-Russian separatists in the Donbas region.

The end of this war was brought about by a referendum that was rejected and invalidated by the international community, but which allowed Putin to annex Crimea.
But now, the war has reignited again after the Russian president made public the recognition of the pro-Russian regions of Donetsk and Lugansk in Ukraine, and ordered the sending of Russian troops to protect the areas. (I)
