One year ago on Feb. 24, President of Russia Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation to “denazify” and “demilitarize” Ukraine. Moments later, Russian forces launched a full-scale invasion on Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital. Since then, Russian forces have initiated countless missile attacks across Ukraine’s major cities, devastating the lives and property of millions and driving the population into a humanitarian crisis. An estimated 21,293 civilians have died and more than 5.4 million Ukrainians are internally displaced as a result of the conflict as of January 2023. Property damages have totaled to approximately $138 billion and more than 136,000 civilian buildings have been destroyed.
