Thousands of soldiers were killed
It is reported that only 25,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed since the start of the war. A Ukrainian civic group says more than 30,000 soldiers lost their lives. A report published by the New York Times last August, citing a US official, said that the death toll in Ukraine had exceeded 70,000. 15,000 soldiers were missing. Authorities have concluded that many of them may have been killed. On the other hand, there is an unconfirmed estimate that Russia has lost more than 100,000 soldiers. The death toll is likely to rise further as the war is far from over.
Russia’s hopes of an easy conquest of Ukraine have been dashed since the start of the war. Ukraine, led by Volodymyr Zelenskiy, held its ground despite faltering in the early stages. Ukraine was helped by the deep military and financial support of countries including the United States. The financial assistance provided by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to Ukraine is not small.
Cities including Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, were destroyed in the war. The death toll was greater than expected. Thousands of soldiers and civilians were killed. Among them are women and children. The number of injured is yet to be ascertained. Infrastructure was destroyed. Schools and hospitals were destroyed in bombings and shelling. Houses were destroyed. There are many victims of sexual violence.
Russia longing to reach the glory of the old Soviet Union
Russia planned to either take full control of Ukraine or oust Volodymyr Zelensky and install a government of their choice in Ukraine. Russia thought that this move would allow it to acquire the glory and power of the old Soviet Union. Putin also believed that winning the war would give Russia global power. However, the Russian army received an unexpected setback. Vladimir Putin has lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers. With the strong opposition of world countries, Russia had to face crises including sanctions. Today, Russia has lost many of the territories it captured in the first phase of the war.
It was not just the desire to return to the glory of the old Soviet Union that drove Russia to invade and subvert Ukraine. Russia has always been keen to exert influence on its neighboring countries in various ways. Even the government of those countries is controlled by Russia. And the opponents will be brought to their destination. The seizure of Crimea, a part of Ukraine, in 2014 is an example of this. However, over the past few years, Russia has recognized that Ukraine is moving out of its sphere of influence. Ukraine has established closer relations with the West, including new agreements. Efforts were also made to gain membership in NATO and the European Union. Russia’s declaration of war once morest Ukraine was prompted by the assessment that these conditions would backfire.

Zelensky fearing pro-Russians in his own country
Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 pushed Ukraine closer to the West. There are many reasons for this, but the main reason is the attitude of pro-Russians in their own country. After annexing Crimea, Russia began a political and military move to annex eastern Ukraine and the predominantly Russian Donbass region. This move was motivated by the favorable attitude of the Russians. Since the 2014 war, the predominantly Russian regions have remained independent. The feeling that Russia will invade these parts also made Ukraine take a tough stand.
