The Russia-Ukraine War is protracted in nature and encompasses military, economic, energy, and information dimensions. It began in 2014 with hybrid aggression and the occupation of parts of Ukraine’s territory, and since 2022 has entered a phase of full-scale invasion, with attacks on critical infrastructure and civilian cities. This war shapes the country’s reality every day: from the operation of the power grid and logistics to the budget, mobilization, and business operations. At the same time, it has become a test for the democratic world—sanctions, military aid, diplomacy, legal mechanisms, and efforts to prevent the circumvention of restrictions have become a front of their own. In this series, we are compiling key events of the war: the situation on the front lines, decisions by allies, the impact on the economy and energy sector, humanitarian consequences, reconstruction, and people’s stories. The Daycom newspaper and Theme Edition Daycom are documenting the chronology and publishing analyses, photographs, and maps to preserve the accurate context and scale of events.
