On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, marking a severe escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War, which had begun in 2014. The invasion caused Europe’s fastest-growing refugee crisis since World War II, with more than 6.8 million Ukrainians fleeing the country and a third of the population displaced.
