A year of war in Ukraine

The World
In the village of Lukashivka in the Chernihiv region, which was occupied by Russian soldiers and later retaken by Ukrainian forces, residents try to rebuild amid the destruction left behind.

One year to the day after Russian president Vladimir Putin announced a “special operation” in Ukraine, we look back at some of the turning points in the ground war, the humanitarian crisis and the political fallout across the globe. We also break down some of the statistics to help illuminate what this war has meant for those living through it. Also, the war in Ukraine is shaking up global alliances and deepening the divide between Moscow and Washington. Has Russia’s President Vladimir Putin completely given up on nuclear arms control treaties? Plus, passing the hat at a Kyiv nightclub.
