One year since Russia started the full-scale war against Ukraine.

Today marks one year since Russia started the full-scale war, not only against the Ukrainian nation but also against the democratic values of the civilized world. The results of this aggression have been devastating to the country and also have significantly affected neighboring countries. Around 10 million people have left their homes, and eight million have been forced to leave the country in search of shelter. Almost 1,000 children have suffered injuries, and 500 children have been killed. Ukraine has lost more than 8,000 civilians despite the United Nation’s assessments. This number must be at least doubled or tripled to be accurate. In addition, Ukraine’s economy has been thrown back 15-20 years with close to $1 trillion in damages, which will take at least 10 years to recover.
As we know, the Ukrainian government cannot disclose the number of soldiers killed during the war, and we understand the reasons for this. But it is not around 15,000 or 20,000, as it has been reported.

According to a Ukrainian Army officer who defended the Kyiv region in the first month of the war, Ukraine lost around 8,000-10,000 soldiers in the battles for Hostomel, Bucha, Borodyanka, and Irpin. When the aggressor country started the war, the ratio of Ukrainian military equipment to Russian equipment was 1:10. This all indicates that more people have been killed on the Ukrainian side than is now understood. If we proudly say that Ukraine’s Armed Forces have killed or injured 200,000 Russian troops, this number, unfortunately, is near the number of Ukraine’s losses. This genocide against the Ukrainian nation will never be forgotten or forgiven.
