Following orders from Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Russian army launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Putin planned to achieve a swift victory, but this has not happened. Consistent international support has enabled the Ukrainian army to withstand the Russian offensive. However, the conflict has caused widespread devastation, resulting in significant loss of life and property in Ukraine, with numerous cities destroyed. The Russian army has also suffered heavy casualties. Meanwhile, Russia launched its largest drone attack on Ukraine to date.
