"Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine enters its fifth year on Feb. 24, 2026.

It is a war marked by trenches, drones and — for thousands of Ukrainians this winter — the freezing cold.

Last year was also the deadliest of the war for Ukrainian civilians, according to the United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, with 2,514 people killed and more than 12,000 injured in 2025 — 30% higher than 2024 and 70% higher than 2023. The head of the mission noted in January that a sharp increase in long-range attacks in the last year have meant that “the consequences of the war are now felt by civilians far beyond the front line.”"
