How One Month of War in Ukraine Ground to a Bloody Stalemate
One month after President Vladimir Putin ordered his military forces to invade Ukraine, Russia has triggered a humanitarian catastrophe unseen in Europe since the end of World War II while achieving almost none of its military objectives.
The war is far from over and military analysts suggest it could turn into a grueling war of attrition, where Russia will have the advantage of vastly superior weapons and an army that is many times larger than that of its smaller neighbor.Explosions began thundering across Ukraine before 5 a.m. on Feb. 24, minutes after Putin declared the start of a “special military operation” to “demilitarize” Ukraine.
In just seven days, 1 million people fled the country, according to the United Nations. Millions more sought safety in the western reaches of Ukraine. Russian artillery and rocket fire was increasingly aimed at civilian infrastructure, cutting off essentials like electricity, medicine, water and heat. In Kyiv alone, 15,000 people started sleeping in the subways.
Kyiv, a modern European metropolis, was rapidly transformed into a fortress city. The barricades in the southern port city of Odesa were raised. And the western city of Lviv prepared for a long struggle. The renewed Russian push came as the war took a decidedly darker turn, with hundreds of thousands of people now living in primeval conditions in besieged cities as Russian forces tried to batter the country into submission.
