FOR TRANSLATION UKRAINE
Situationsbericht Tag 182 (1)
August 24, 2022 -
Bevölkerung in der Ukraine feiert den Unabhängigkeitstag des Landes, ungeachtet der Sicherheitsmaßnahmen im ganzen Land aus Angst for neuerlichen Angriffen der Russen. Vor genau sechs Monaten erfolgte die russische Invasion der Ukraine.
Independence Day in Kyiv usually sees a massive military parade through the city centre. But public gatherings are banned in the capital Kyiv and a curfew is in force in the front-line eastern city of Kharkiv, which has weathered months of shelling.
The war has killed thousands of civilians, forced over a third of Ukraine’s 41 million people from their homes, left cities in ruins and shaken global markets. It is largely at a standstill with no immediate prospect of peace talks.
