Russische Invasion der Ukraine - erster Jahrestag(1)
February 24, 2023 - Russlands Invasion der Ukraine hat sich zum Abnützungskrieg entwickelt, Tausende sind gestorben, Millionen vertrieben. Städte und lebenswichtige Infrastruktur wurden zerstört.
One year ago, a massive buildup of Russian troops along Ukraine’s borders was the precursor to war. At the time, many questioned the ability of the Ukrainians to withstand an invasion, predicting the imminent fall of the capital Kyiv.
Instead, Ukrainian fighters have held the capital and continue to resist Russian attempts to control territory, helped by a massive influx of Western weapons, ammunition and equipment. The war has become a grinding conflict that U.S. officials say could last for months or even years.
