In 2024, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has entered its third year, and Russia's losses in this war are significant.
Russia continues to launch large-scale airstrikes on Ukraine, causing massive destruction of Ukrainian personnel** and civilian infrastructure.
These attacks include an attack on Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, which has left many areas without power and water, and temperatures that can drop to minus 20, creating a very dangerous situation on the ground.
From an economic point of view, Russia has also suffered significantly. After the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war in February 2022, the ruble**, foreign investors fled, and the outlook for the Russian economy was bleak.
However, despite the severe sanctions imposed by Western countries, the Russian economy is gradually showing resilience. In 2023, the GDP increased by 36%。But this does not mean that the Russian economy does not face challenges, such as maintaining high benchmark interest rates to stabilize prices and **.
Russia also suffers in terms of human resources. Since February 2022, nearly 45,000 Russians have reportedly been killed on the Ukrainian front, three times the losses during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan during its decade.
Despite the fact that Russia has more human resources than Ukraine, such losses still have a significant impact on Russia.
To sum up, the Russia-Ukraine war has caused significant human, economic and social impacts on Russia.
While Russia has shown resilience in some ways, the conflict has undoubtedly had a profound impact on it.
