It has been 100 days since Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine. In this time period at least 4,169 people have lost their lives, with 268 of them being children. Ukraine has put up an incredible fight so far with help from NATO countries who have pitched in financially to help combat the Russian forces. Even with the financial help, the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, says Russia has seized 20% of Ukraine. If Ukraine can continue to mobilize its citizens and sustain their army’s strong presence, they can suppress Russia’s movement West and protect key cities such as Kharkiv and Kyiv.
Economically, this war has caused turmoil throughout the world, including an increase in food prices, ultimately pushing millions of people into hunger. Additionally, a large portion of the world has placed sanctions on Russia, causing gas prices to surge because Russia is the second-largest producer of natural gas and third-largest producer of oil in the world.
In the first 100 days we have seen how strong the military and the citizens of Ukraine are. They will not go down without a fight and are unwilling to concede any land in exchange for peace. Zelenskyy believes that Ukraine will emerge victorious.
