Four Years of Russia-Ukraine War: Ongoing Conflict, Casualties, and Reconstruction Challenges

Four years after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022, the conflict remains unresolved, causing extensive destruction, significant civilian and military casualties, and widespread displacement. Ukraine faces a reconstruction cost estimated at $588 billion over the next decade. Russia controls nearly 20% of Ukrainian territory but has not achieved its initial objectives. Peace talks, brokered by the United States, have stalled over territorial disputes. European allies continue to support Ukraine amid ongoing military and economic challenges.
