Russo-Korean War

World War III

Known officially as the **Russian Ground Forces** (Russian: **Сухопутные войска Российской Федерации**, *Suchopútniye voyska Rosseeyskoy Federácii*) , the Russian Army forms the land forces of the Russian Federation. Active since 1992 after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russian Ground Forces were formed from various parts of the Soviet Army. From 1992 onward, Russian Ground Forces personnel were withdrawn from Soviet bases in foreign regions to focus on "near abroad" affairs. They are trained in sophisticated military tactics and perform with conventional warfare.

## History

### Russo-Ukrainian War

On February 22, 2022, the Russian Federation executed a full-scale invasion of the nation of Ukraine, the largest conventional military attack in Europe since the Second World War. The RGF led the bulk of the invasion force, while the rest was spearheaded by the Russian Airborne Forces. In late 2022-early 2023, it was also revealed that a handful of Russian personnel, unhappy with Putin's decision to invade Ukraine due to the severity of economic sanctions brought against Russia by other nations in response to the invasion and seeking to undermine the Russian occupation by any means necessary, had defected from Russia and instead became collaborators with the Ukrainian resistance.
