One year has passed since the Russian invasion in the early morning of February 24, 2022 in Ukraine. Since then, the sides have lost thousands of human lives, most of them soldiers who fell in battle, alongside oligarchs who lost billions due to the sanctions imposed by the world | Also, how many Russian generals were killed and what did the war do to the Ukrainian economy? | All the numbers
Who believed and estimated that the Russian defeat in Ukraine would last a whole year and its end is still not in sight, the answer is no one. The Ukrainians surprised the whole world with their determination, abilities and achievements. In the meantime, the killing, the destruction and the human and economic destruction are many and this is only an approximate estimate. Those who are paying the price for the decision of Russian President Vladimir Putin to invade the neighboring country are tens of millions of citizens, millions of soldiers and also several hundred oligarchs whose lives changed in one fell swoop because of him.
So here is an interim summary of the bloody war in numbers.
In Ukraine, it is estimated that 6.5 million Ukrainians fled their homes, but remained on Ukrainian soil and became “internal refugees”.
