Current situation

The war in Ukraine is now in its second year, and there is no end in sight. Both sides have suffered heavy casualties, and the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine continues to deepen.

Russia has made gains in the eastern Donetsk region in recent months, but Ukrainian forces have been able to mount a stiff defense. The fighting is now concentrated in the Bakhmut and Avdiivka areas.

In the south, Ukraine has retaken the city of Kherson, but Russian forces still control a significant portion of the Kherson region. There is also a risk of renewed Russian attacks on the city of Mykolaiv.

The war in Ukraine is having a devastating impact on the country and its people. Millions of Ukrainians have been displaced from their homes, and thousands of civilians have been killed. The war has also had a significant impact on the global economy, causing energy prices to rise and disrupting supply chains.

It is unclear when the war in Ukraine will end, but it is clear that it will have a lasting impact on Ukraine, Russia, and the world. LETS HOPE FOR THIS WAR TO BE END AND LET THERE                     BE PEACE ALL OVER THE WORLD
