For the past 339 days, Russia and Ukraine have been locked in a bitter conflict over the disputed territory of Crimea. Since the invasion began, Ukraine has seen a steady increase in Russian missile attacks, which have caused devastating destruction and loss of life.
On January 27, 2023, U.S. Intel Chief warned of the “devastating” impact of the Russian missile attacks, citing the death of at least 10 civilians in Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv. In response, Ukraine has prepared to receive western tanks in an effort to deter further attacks.
The conflict has resulted in a massive humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, as well as a breakdown of diplomatic relations between the two countries. With no end in sight, the situation remains tense and uncertain.
