100 days from Russian full-scale offensive: 4 most important stages of war so far

After months of sequence of bodies and continued denials that any kind of invasion was planned, Vladimir Putin announced on February 24th that he has launched a special military “military operation” for deilitarised and denotated” Ukraine.

Western officials were expecting a quick and scary “match-up and”, and it seems there was an effort in Russia to directly target Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksy, possibly in order to replace his government with one at Moscow's will.

But if Putin hosted a quick and easy fight with a little Ukrainian or international controversy -- like the genocide invasion in 2014 -- he has been disappointed. The war has resulted in sanctions against Russia, application for NATO membership from Sweden and Finland, and increasing oil and food prices in countries thousands of miles from the conflict zone. The bottom line is how the war came to be in Ukraine.

Stage one: Invasion

Day One: February 24

79,209 refugees

The war begins with rocket attacks around Ukraine's entire territory. Landfronts come from Shankivka, to Kiev, and from the Crimea to the Khareson. An amphibious attack from the Azov Sea launches a desperate attempt to capture Marioupolis. In Kiev, Russian paratroopers make two attempts to enter the presidential complex to kill Volodymyr Zelesnky.

Day two: February 25

179,525 refugees

From downtown Kiev to a stone island on the Black Sea, Ukrainian self - esteem is more steel than Putin had imagined. President Zelenesky posts a video-selfee saying he has remained in the capital and has declined the United States' offer to evacuate. While a small group of soldiers on Snake Island respond to a Russian order to surrender with a totemic response: “Russian warship, fuck you! ”

Fourth day: 28 February

652,445 refugees

Early war hours were set forth as a team of Russian helicopters appeared to have taken control of Hostomel's airport on the outskirts of Kiev, which would enable Russia to bring troops and vehicles to the suburbs. In fact, the operation was dogged and until the fourth day, the airport became a front line.

Day 6 - March 2

989,560 refugees

Almost a week in the war, Russian forces managed to surround Marioupolis, an important strategic port city. On the same day, Russian troops pledged that they had taken control of the Khreson, giving them a full check of <x0 land-power” between the Crimea- annexed by Russia in 2014- and Donetsk occupied by pro-Russian forces.

In fact, the bombings are continuing as Russia covers the beginning of its escape from the north. Under one order, Russia abandons these fronts and restores some of the units at the eastern theatre. By entering Butch, Ukrainian forces find abundant evidence of cruelty.

50th Day: 14 April

4,777,081 refugees

4,959,759 refugees

After almost three weeks of relative calm, during which the Russian army was re-roved and repossessed, the Ukrainian government announced the start of a new offensive to the east.
