As the war reaches another grim milestone on Saturday, here are just some of the sombre ways it has upended life for tens of millions of people:
- 6.3 million Ukrainians have become refugees, according to the United Nations' refugee agency (UNHCR)
- 9,083 civilians have been killed in Ukraine, according to the latest figures from the UN's rights office (OHCHR); the real toll, however, is feared to be much higher
- 15,779 civilians have been wounded in Ukraine, according to the OHCHR
- Military casualties on both sides of the war are difficult to establish and verify; the warring sides often estimate rival losses, and are understood to downplay their own
- The cost of destruction is thought to be more than $143bn*, according to the latest findings from the Kyiv School of Economics
- It is estimated that Russia controls less than 20 percent of Ukrainian territory
The conflict has led to the fastest-growing refugee crisis since World War II, with 6.3 million people forced to flee Ukraine since the invasion on February 24, 2022. The vast majority of them - 5,967,100 - went to other European countries.
An additional six million are internally displaced within Ukraine.
Most refugees are women and children, as Ukrainian men aged between 18 and 60 have been instructed to remain in the country and fight.
The infographic below highlights the flow of refugees recorded from Ukraine across Europe between June 1, 2022 and July 7, 2023, as well as some of the painful stories of those forced to leave their homes.
