Visualizing how Ukraine has changed in the 3 years since Russia’s full-scale invasion
Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the country has lost approximately 11% of its territory, with a total loss of about 18% since 2014. Despite initial expectations of a swift Russian victory, Ukraine has managed to regain some land through counteroffensives supported by Western military aid, primarily from the United States, which has contributed around $95 billion in assistance.
The conflict has resulted in significant humanitarian crises, with over 6.3 million Ukrainians displaced across Europe and more than 40,000 civilians killed or injured. The recent shift in U.S. policy under President Trump, who advocates for a quick resolution and a transactional approach to aid, has left Ukraine and its allies concerned about future support.
As the war continues, the impact on Ukrainian society is profound, with many NGOs facing funding cuts and essential services being disrupted, further complicating the humanitarian situation.
