1.000 Tage Krieg in der Ukraine – was passiert ist und wo wir jetzt stehen

On 24 February 2022, the world awoke to the news that Russian tanks had rolled into Ukraine. In the 1,000 days since, the Russia-Ukraine border has seen significant transformation.

Following the full-scale invasion, the border areas shifted as Russian forces captured swathes of Ukrainian territory, including regions in the east and south.

Ukrainian counter-offensives reclaimed some of these areas, but more recently Russian forces have continued to make gains in the eastern region of Donetsk, advancing along several fronts towards the city of Pokrovsk, a lynchpin of the wider area’s defence.

The border now features contested zones and widespread destruction, reflecting ongoing hostilities. Hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the conflict have been killed or wounded with millions of Ukrainians forced to flee their homes.

But there is no clear sign of an end to the fighting, with Vladimir Putin poised to hurl more than 10,000 North Korean troops onto the frontline in response to a counter-offensive from Ukraine in the Kursk region.

Ukrainians fear that large attacks by Moscow are intended to devastate Ukraine’s power generation capacity ahead of the cold winter.

On Sunday, Russia launched around 120 missiles and 90 drones during a “massive combined strike on all regions of Ukraine” in what has been described as one of the largest air attacks on the country in months.

# How many casualties have there been?

Accurate figures on the numbers of troops killed or wounded are complicated to confirm, as Ukraine and [Russia are reluctant to disclose casualty statistics.](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/russia-drone-strikes-ukraine-trump-3373901?ico=in-line_link)

But the number of Ukrainians and Russians killed or wounded in the war is believed to be more than a million.

One US military assessment last month put Russian casualties so far during the war as high as 615,000, with 115,000 killed and 500,000 wounded.

Ukrainian casualties were estimated at more than 57,500 killed and 250,000 wounded.

UK military intelligence have said September was the deadliest month for the Russians since the start of the war in Ukraine, with an average of more than 1,200 a day.

Russia is currently suffering almost 2,000 casualties each day as its troops aim to recapture the Kursk region and seize frontline ground in eastern Ukraine, according to Kyiv’s military.

Since August, approximately 170,000 people have been forced to flee their homes in Eastern Ukraine, adding to the nearly four million who remain displaced within Ukraine and 6.7 million more who have ought refuge outside the country. according to the UN.

# How many weapons have been provided?

At the end of July, Ukraine received its first batch of F-16 fighter jets from the West, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky believes many more are required than the roughly 65 that Nato countries have pledged.

In March, 2023, Ukraine received its first tanks from Western countries, with the UK providing 14 Challenger 2s and other European nations 104 Leopard 2 tanks.

The US delivered 31 M1 Abrams tanks last year, thought to be the most sophisticated battle tank in the world, although they were withdraw in April to avoid the growing threat from Russian drones.
