The year 2025 is coming to an end but the Ukraine-Russia war still continues.
Hundreds of thousands have been dead, millions have fled homes and economies of both the countries have been badly hit, yet, this war is still on.
While the conflict between the two nations has been going on since 2014, the full-fledged war began in February 2022.
Now three years and nine months have elapsed and there is no sign that the war would end soon. Though the efforts for peace are being made, the attacks continue and the casualties are also reported on a regular basis.
This is happening even as the world is all set to enter the new year, 2026. One of the worst wars that has
occurred since World War II, the Ukraine-Russia war has led to immense destruction.
A large population of Ukraine has been forced to leave their land. Millions of people from the country, left their country and have settled in Eastern European nations.
Within Ukraine too, huge internal displacement has also occurred in the last couple of years due to the Russian strikes. Civilian casualties have been high in Ukraine. But Russia has suffered too in a big way.
Estimates about number of troops who died in the nearly four year war, range from over 100,000 to as high as nearly a million.
Russia has been facing sanctions and despite the enormous impact on its economy, it is able to survive and fight as it’s a huge nation.
Ukraine’s tilt towards European Union (EU) had already angered Putin, but geopolitics, regional supremacy and other aspects like controlling Lithium or more mineral resources of Ukraine is also part of the likely Russian aim.
Russia has got territorial gain but its army has suffered in a big way. The year 2025 is about to end and 2026 is all set to begin, but the war hasn’t ended and is likely to drag into the next year.
