As one of the most intricate and tragic wars of the modern era, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has been in the forefront of news headlines around the world since it began. A grim reality emerges from the geopolitical power plays and military strategy: the enormous human, economic, and social cost. Let’s investigate the unseen expenses of this continuing conflict.

1. A Humanitarian Disaster: Lives Disrupted An Increasing Body Count
Tens of thousands have died in this conflict, and the number of civilian casualties is expected to rise as cities turn into hotspots for fighting. The continual danger of shelling and violence has forced entire families to evacuate their homes.

Trauma, uncertainty, and losing loved ones are just a few of the psychological tolls that come with displacement.
