Estimates of Russian troop deaths at 200 thousand and Ukraine troops 100 thousand. The full-scale war in Ukraine began in the early morning hours of February 24, 2022, by early April of 2022, Ukrainian forces had liberated the Kyiv region and the horrors of the Russian occupation were revealed on a scale not seen since World War II. Over the last year, Ukrainian forces have been able to reclaim many parts of the country lost early in the war, yet their struggle continues. Religion is an important aspect of Ukrainian life, however many of them will tell you that their true religion is freedom. For this, they fight. Welcome to ‘For This, They Fight’ UKRAINE WAR DAY 468
