On 24 February 2022, on the orders of President Vladimir Putin, the Russian army invaded Ukraine, instigating a high-intensity war. Despite their disproportionate military and human resources, the Ukrainian army and the broader population in Ukraine have since resisted the offensive. The list of casualties, many of which are civilian, continues to grow. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of people are now fleeing the conflict and the material damage in Ukraine is intensifying every day.
