ANOTHER FUN FACT: Russia has lost more tanks in Ukraine in the last 3 years than it lost in all of World War II.
This is a much larger and more devastating war than it often appears to be in the news media.
Ukraine had a pre-war population of 41 million, and that is down now to about 30 million. An estimated 1 million on both sides (questionably accurate, but a ballpark figure) have been killed, and uncounted injured and maimed. The rest have fled Ukraine, and are mostly sheltered in border states like Poland, Hungary and Rumania, and the rest of Europe. And the U.S., I've met many of them here in Florida. It's to be seen how many of them will return to Ukraine if / when a peace deal is signed. My observation is that people once uprooted tend not to go back.
