Every Inch A Battle | Russia’s March On Kyiv To Ukraine’s Counterattack, The Biggest War Flashpoints

A year ago, on February 24, 2022, Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine as part of what Putin called a “special military operation.“ Russian President Vladimir Putin and many other nations in the West believed that Russia’s famed military would wrap up their operations in Ukraine swiftly. However, a year later, Ukraine continues to resist Putin’s forces and has even inflicted some humiliating defeats on the Kremlin’s forces. For Russia, the series of setbacks began with Kyiv, which Putin had reportedly expected to control in 72 hours. Forced to retreat from Kyiv, the Russian forces then engaged in intense battles with the Ukrainians on several fronts and continue to do so even as the war enters its second year.
