Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Last year was Ukraine's deadliest for civilians since 2022, UN says
The early phase of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in
February 2022 began in April 2014 in Donbas, Ukraine’s border region with
Russia, when Russian-backed fighters seized several towns. The United Nations estimated
that about 4,400 Ukrainian fighters and 3,400 civilians were killed before
2022. The number of Ukrainian casualties has surged since Russia’s full-scale
invasion on February 24, 2022. It is estimated that over 100,000 Ukrainian
forces were killed or missing, more than 14,000 civilians were killed, and nearly
40,000 were wounded. Last year alone, no fewer than 2,500 civilians lost their
lives, the deadliest year since 2022. Also, many Ukrainians are now suffering
from sub-zero cold as Russia continues to attack the energy infrastructure. Spring
is still a month away, and peace is unforeseen anytime soon, yet the number of
casualties is increasing each day in Ukraine.
Read the article and learn how deadly and cruel the war is.
