The first year of the war in Ukraine

This Friday, Ukraine enters the second year of the war with Russian forces, marking the first anniversary of the invasion, which it resisted fiercely and, with the help of the West, dealt a surprise blow to Vladimir Putin.

Russian troops entered Ukraine early on February 24, 2022, starting the most violent conflict in Europe since World War II.

A year later, Ukrainian cities have been reduced to rubble, part of the country is under Russian occupation, and Western estimates say more than 150,000 people have died or been injured on both sides.
