19 November, 2024 marks the 1,000th day since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. This significant milestone highlights the increasingly long-term nature of the conflict, which has caused immense human suffering, displacement and geopolitical upheaval.
Over these 1,000 days, the war has seen intense battles, shifting frontlines, and tremendous resilience on the part of the Ukrainian people. It has drawn global attention, with numerous nations supporting Ukraine through humanitarian aid, sanctions against Russia and military assistance. The conflict has also reshaped international alliances and discussions on energy security, defence strategies and the global balance of power.
This somber anniversary serves as a moment to reflect on the costs of war and the continued efforts toward peace and stability in the region.
