They are the most stirring images of the bloody invasion of Ukraine, which began one year ago today.
Olena Kurylo, a 52-year-old teacher, stands outside a hospital after the bombing of the eastern town of Chuguiv on Feb. 24, 2022, as Russian forces invaded Ukraine from several directions, using rocket systems and helicopters to attack Kyiv's position in the south. Russian tanks and other heavy equipment crossed the border in the middle of the night in several northern regions, as well as from the Kremlin-annexed peninsula of Crimea in the south.
Bodies are lowered into a mass grave on the outskirts of Mariupol, on March 9, 2022, as people cannot bury their dead because of the heavy shelling by Russian forces. The United Nations confirmed the deaths of 1,348 civilians in the occupied city, but the true death toll is likely significantly higher.

History As It Happens: One Year of War w/ Anatol LievenThis is the second episode in a two-part series marking the anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022. The war in Eastern Europe will determine whether Ukraine can maintain its sovereign independence achieved in 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Russia’s war is a direct war against Ukraine, and an indirect conflict with the U.S., NATO, and “the West.” Indeed, over the past year, it has become increasingly difficult to separate Ukraine’s interests from those of the U.S., as both rhetoric about maintaining the liberal world order and material assistance for Ukraine’s defense have flowed from Washington. Barack Obama, in an interview with The Atlantic near the end of his presidency, envisioned a different set of priorities for U.S. foreign policy. Ukraine was a core Russian interest, not an American one, he cautioned. Two years prior, Mr. Obama dismissed Russia as a “regional power” as it annexed Crimea. Fast forward to February, 2022. Days before Russia's invasion began, President Joseph R. Biden announced the U.S. would stand by Ukraine but not only for Ukraine’s sake. Democracy itself was at stake. In this episode, Anatol Lieven of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft discusses what to expect as the war enters its second year and the dangers inherent in the potential escalation of conflict.
