    A War in Ukraine

    This team generated series of images chronicles the ongoing war in Ukraine. On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine in a major escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War. The invasion has likely resulted in tens of thousands of deaths on both sides and caused Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II, with an estimated 8 million people being displaced within the country by late May as well as 7.6 million Ukrainians fleeing the country as of October 2022. The invasion has also caused global food shortages.
