(Paris Comprehensive Television) The outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine war is about to reach the first anniversary, and the two sides pay a huge price for this.According to the latest estimates of Norway, this conflict has caused 180,000 Russian and 100,000 Ukraine casualties.Other Western sources estimate that Russia and Ukraine have 150,000 soldiers.
As for civilians, Kiev estimates that the number of deaths will reach 20,000, of which at least 400 are children.Western sources said that the number of civilians was 30,000 to 40,000.
In late January, the United Nations estimates that 18,000 civilians were casualties in the battle, but they said that the actual figures were much higher.
Joint evaluation: The reconstruction of Ukraine is required to cost about $ 349 billion
The Ukrainian economy is also severely hit. The World Bank predicted in October last year that Ukraine's economy will shrink by 35%in 2022.
The Institute of Kiev Economics in January this year estimates that the reconstruction of all infrastructure that was destroyed by the war must cost $ 138 billion (about S $ 183 billion).A joint evaluation of the Ukraine government, the European Union Commission, and the World Bank in September said that the reconstruction of Ukraine was costly about $ 349 billion.
The UN Refugee Department said that since the outbreak of the war, more than 8 million Ukrainians have escaped abroad, which is the worst refugee crisis in Europe since World War II.More than 5 million people were displaced in Ukraine.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine originally wanted to make a quick decision, but the war that had entered the 12th month was in a deadlock. Neither sides had achieved military breakthroughs, nor did they intend to accept the status quo -based solution.
Analysts are worried that this war will not end soon and may even increase the next year.
Ultraman of the US Think Tank Strategy and International Research Center said: "It certainly does not show signs of approaching the end. Both sides feel that time standing on its own side, and now reconciliation is a mistake."
Experts believe that as the Russian army has recently achieved some success in the Unthonata area, Russia may be preparing to launch a spring offensive.But with the increase in support for Kiev in the United States and Europe, Ukraine seems to be determined to recapture the lost territory, including Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014.
