US President Donald Trump is advocating for a swift resolution to the war in Ukraine, with recent peace talks between top US and Russian officials in Saudi Arabia raising eyebrows as Kyiv was not represented. Since Russia's invasion three years ago, Ukraine has faced significant territorial losses, displacement of millions, and casualties in the thousands.
At the war's onset, Ukraine strategically held back troops from Kyiv but later secured victories in certain regions while suffering losses in others. Overall, Ukraine has lost about 11% of its land since the 2022 invasion, adding to the 18% lost since 2014 due to Russian actions.
