Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will mark its two-year anniversary on February 24, 2024. Previously expected to be a quick military operation, it turned into a protracted conflict, leaving a trail of destruction and human suffering.
The two-year war between Russia and Ukraine has killed or injured more than half a million people on both sides, displaced millions of Ukrainian citizens and destroyed critical infrastructure. Ukraine wants to get more aid from the US and its allies as donor fatigue grows.
Where does the war stand on the second anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine, and how far have the two sides advanced?
When the war started, the whole world expected that Russia would quickly overrun the Ukrainian defenses and occupy the Ukrainian capital Kiev. In early February 2022, then-President of the United States Mark Milley reportedly told congressional leaders that in the event of a full-scale Russian invasion, Ukraine could collapse within 72 hours. It has now been two years since the invasion began – and the Ukrainians have held the Russian forces at bay and defended their country with great determination.
On the other hand, Russia dominates and has also been able to protect its economy from Western sanctions. Today, the Russian economy is actually booming. This is something the West did not expect.
Initially, Ukraine used drones with great success, occasionally managing to strike targets deep inside Russia. But the Russians developed countermeasures and successfully adopted the use of drones themselves.
