One year on, thousands of civilians are dead, many cities are in ruins and millions are forced to seek refuge elsewhere as military conflict between Russia and Ukraine draws out with no end in sight
The war has left tens of thousands dead, ruined cities and pushed the world on the verge of grave food security crisis, threatening millions of people.
Tens of thousands of troops have been killed or seriously wounded on each side. Beyond Ukraine’s borders, the military action shattered European security, redrew nations’ relations with one another and frayed a tightly woven global economy. Three months before the offensive, then-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson scoffed at suggestions that the British army needed more heavy weapons.Johnson is now urging the UK to send more battle tanks to help Ukraine repel Russian forces.
Russia has mobilised hundreds of thousands of conscripts and aims to expand its military from 1 million to 1.5 million troops. The US has ramped up weapons production to replace the stockpiles shipped to Ukraine. France plans to boost military spending by a third by 2030, while Germany has abandoned its longstanding ban on sending weapons to conflict zones and shipped missiles and tanks to Ukraine.
