STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOS - Russia's invasion of Ukraine has left tens of thousands of dead, displaced millions and sown economic turmoil across the world in the 18 months since its launch on Feb. 24, 2022.The war has caused death on a level not seen in Europe since World War Two.
About 14,000 people were killed there between 2014 and the end of 2021, according to the OHCHR, including 3,106 civilians.Since the 2022 invasion, millions of Ukrainians have been forced from their homes, the United Nations refugee agency has said. Ukraine has a population of more than 41 million. After pushing back Russian forces in 2022, it has failed to make major inroads against well-dug in Russian troops since launching a new counteroffensive in early June.
Russia's economy will grow 1.5% this year, according to the International Monetary Fund, after a contraction of 2.1% in 2022. As Russia's military spending soars and sanctions squeeze its energy revenues, Moscow faces a battle to keep its budget deficit in check.
