Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, over 200 civilian casualties have been reported, leading to a massive refugee crisis, primarily in Poland. The conflict escalated following Russia's military buildup near Ukraine and subsequent demands regarding NATO, with significant international sanctions imposed by the U.S. and its allies in response to Russia's actions. Ongoing fighting has continued in major Ukrainian cities, exacerbating tensions between Russia and NATO countries, affecting broader geopolitical relations and collaboration on critical global issues.
