As the war in Ukraine intensifies, the UN says 1.5 million people have taken refuge in neighboring countries. Meanwhile, Ukraine and Russia are set to resume peace talks today.
The war between Ukraine and Russia is intensifying day by day. Russian forces have landed in an attempt to capture major cities, including Kiev. Thus the conflict between the two sides has intensified. The United Nations says nearly 1.5 million people have been displaced in 11 days by the fighting between the two countries. The UN is concerned that this is the largest refugee crisis since World War II.
Ukraine, meanwhile, has accused Russian forces of attacking civilians and hospitals. Russia, meanwhile, has accused Ukraine of developing nuclear weapons. Russia’s port cities in Ukraine are being evacuated, leaving stranded people stranded. Reports say human bodies were found on city streets like Mariapol.
Ukraine has suffered huge economic losses as well as casualties due to the war. Sanctions are also having a major impact in Russia. The Russian government has imposed restrictions on the sale of eggs, bread and meat, as people have been affected by rising prices. In this context, the third phase of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine is to take place. It is the expectation of the people of both countries that agreement should be reached in these talks.
