Combat Mission: Black Sea is a computer wargame by American studio Battlefront.com in the Combat Mission series of games that covers a fictional Russian invasion of Ukraine.[2] Since the events in Crimea and eastern Ukraine in 2014, the government in Kyiv and Russia have continued to clash over the status of the disputed regions. This confrontation culminated a few years later with Ukraine's dramatic announcement that it would join NATO and the EU. Tensions exploded as Russia, perceiving a direct threat to Russian citizens, once again massed troops on the Ukrainian border, while Western governments, welcoming the possibility of NATO and EU influence expanding eastward, also mobilized. The escalation continued until the summer of 2017, when a major firefight broke out between Ukrainian and Russian forces in the Donetsk region. The next day, fighting broke out on the border, and on a dark morning in June 2017, pre-positioned Russian and NATO troops entered Ukraine.
