War in Ukraine: Over one year of conflict, 2023 <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

On February 24th 2022, Russian troops began invading Ukraine, triggering one of the worst military conflicts in Europe since the Second World War. Since then, fighting Russian strikes have kept increasing on a daily basis in the country, and with it the human, material and economic toll has been getting heavier and heavier.<\/p>\n

Over one year ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a “special military operation” – in truth, a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, against the backdrop of almost a decade of diplomatic tensions between the two countries. Confirming the worst case scenario of its neighbour and the international community, Russian troops crossed the Russian-Ukrainian border where they had been stationed for several weeks. The same day, President Volodymyr Zelensky decreed the general mobilisation of Ukrainian civilians. This was the beginning of a conflict which, one year later, sent Europe and the world into a major crisis.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

On January 15th 2023, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) revealed in new statistics the extent of the terrible human toll of the Russian military assault. Since the beginning of the war, at least 7,110 civilians have been killed – figures that may be far below the true figures, according to the OHCHR, as the transmission of information is delayed in areas where fighting remains intense. While the fog of war still makes it impossible to know the exact number of military casualties, the British Ministry of Defence said on 12 February that Russian soldiers would pay the highest cost in the last month of the conflict, with more than 800 deaths per day.<\/p>\n

Herbaut, Jochems, Lam Duc and Ferdous, all photographers from Agence VU’, have been in Ukraine since the very first days of the conflict. We have selected below some of their most powerful reports, showing the tragic consequences of the Russian offensive over the Ukrainian population.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
