War of Ukraine and Russia in photos and videos
Whenit was announced that the US had knowledge of a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine, a great moment of tension was created in several countries, since the country in which Vladimir Putin he is president has great war power. On the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, the first attacks began and Ukrainian citizens are already experiencing the drama of attacks with Russian missiles and soldiers.
In a nutshell, the War between Ukraine and Russia originated after Ukraine requested entry into NATO, a group of countries that formed during the Cold War and with the fall of the Berlin Wall, remained active and always had an opinion against Russia. . Vladimir Putin fears that all the war power of Ucrania be shared with the countries of the Nato and especially the EUA, who leads the group.

Death toll in Ukraine Invasion
If February 24, 2022 was marked by more than 100 known deaths, the number after nine days is frightening. The State Emergency Service of Ukraine reports that more than 2 lives have been lost.
Little is said about how many soldiers and other agents have died since the beginning of the conflict. The Russian Defense Ministry reports that 498 soldiers have lost their lives since the start of the Russian war. Ucrania e Russia and at least 1.597 were wounded. The data on the invasion of Ukraine comes from the Russian news agency RIA.
The number of Russian soldiers killed in the war of Ucrania e Russia it is greater when we look at the information of the country that is being attacked. Oleksiy Arestovich, military adviser to the Ukrainian presidency, announced that as of March 02, more than 7 soldiers under the command of Vladimir Putin have been killed, with several taken prisoner (including senior officers).
During the dawn of Thursday to Friday, a fire hit the region of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant and this could cause even more deaths. There is no risk of a nuclear explosion, but any activity can be a danger similar to what happened in Chernobyl (which, by the way, is in Ukraine).
Representatives of the two countries even met this week, but there was no agreement that would stop all attacks. We can only wait for the next steps of the War of Ucrania e Russia and that conflicts are stopped as soon as possible.
