The escalating tension between Russia and Ukraine finally blew up in the early morning of February 24, 2022, after almost eight years of war in the Donbas region, with the entry of the Russian Army into the Ukrainian territory. This new conflict phase has caused millions of lives to be cut short and the devastation of several parts of the country. According to the United Nations, at least 6.5 million people have fled Ukraine and the number of internally displaced persons rises to 8 million. The shellings and the frontline advance have cost more than 5,000 deaths and 6,000 verified wounded.
