Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on the morning of February 24th. Putin, trying to justify the aggression, announced that he was launching a “military operation” to “denazify” and “demilitarize” Ukraine.

Over 11 days of hostilities, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed more than 11,000 Russian invaders and hundreds of enemy military equipment.

Due to the failure in the battles with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russians turned to terrorizing civilians, bombarding residential areas daily and killing civilians.

In addition, the Russian army blocks the “green corridors” for the evacuation of people, provoking a humanitarian crisis in the temporarily captured settlements.
