Three years ago today, on February 24, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, marking the start of a long and arduous battle.
But the Russian invasion did not have the expected success, as Kiev did not fall within 48 hours as President Vladimir Putin promised, nor after 3 years.
Russian forces bombed the Ukrainian capital with planes and drones, but failed to subdue the iron will of the locals to defend their homeland at all costs.
Now, most of the fighting has shifted east after failed Russian advances in central Ukraine. The Ukrainians are focusing on retaking key areas closer to the Russian border, while Moscow controls about a fifth of its western neighbor.
The war in Ukraine has claimed the lives of thousands of soldiers and civilians. It is estimated that over 500,000 Russian soldiers have lost their lives, writes A2 CNN.
Recently, with the coming to power of President Donald Trump in the US, there has been talk of a possible peace agreement, which he has often promised during the election campaign.
However, the parties seem very divided in their claims and it is still too early to talk about anything concrete.
