The war was described as one of the largest military conflicts in Europe since the Second World War. It caused numerous civilian and military casualties, large waves of migration, and significant economic consequences. While comprehensive sanctions were imposed on Russia in the international arena, military and humanitarian support was provided to Ukraine from various countries.
