As the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine approaches on February 24, 2025, a grim human toll is being assessed. The American think tank CSIS estimates nearly two million casualties—killed, wounded, or missing—across both nations since February 2022. This figure is heavily skewed towards Russia, with estimates of over 300,000 dead and nearly a million wounded or missing, despite marginal territorial gains, as Russia controls just over 20% of Ukrainian territory. Ukraine's casualties are estimated at 600,000, including at least 90,000 deaths, with civilian victims increasing by 26% in 2025 due to more targeted strikes. The conflict's diplomatic and economic dimensions, including reduced Western aid to Ukraine and sanctions on Russia, show no signs of prompting a resolution.
