Two Years of Russian War in Ukraine
Two years of Russian War in Ukraine
Prior to February 2022, some observers predicted that Ukraine did not stand a chance if Russia invaded. Kyiv was expected to fall in three days. Yet, Ukraine continues to stand and fight. What has two years taught Ukrainians, Russians, and the world? How has the war changed? What can we expect in 2024? When will the war end, and how?
