Russia’s invasion of Ukraine started since February 24 but Moscow has failed to seize the capital Kyiv or its second city Kharkiv so far. Russian forces are trying to take full control of the Donbas, comprised of two eastern provinces Moscow claims on behalf of separatists.

The United Nations has recorded 3,930 civilian casualties during the conflict, while a large number of Ukrainians fled the country.
