"As its two-year anniversary approaches, Russia’s full-scale invasion of
Ukraine has been pushed into the background of public attention by the war in
Gaza.
The intense focus on Gaza has prompted comparisons between the two conflicts
that tend to obscure or minimise the scale of destruction in Ukraine. “Ukraine
fatigue” has also deepened around the world, as the fighting drags on along
relatively static front lines.
This is why, on the anniversary of the invasion, it’s important to take stock
of the damage done to Ukraine and its people over the past two years. To do
this, I’ve drawn on extensive reports from United Nations agencies,
non-governmental organisations and international, Ukrainian and Russian media.
The overall scale of the destruction, as well as the repression of Ukrainian
people and erasure of Ukrainian identity in territories annexed by Russia, lend
support to the accusations that Russia has committed acts of genocide. It’s
vital the world not forget this."
