On this edition of Your Call's Media Roundtable, we’re discussing the human toll of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
February 24 marks the four-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. More than 15,000 civilians have been killed and over 41,000 have been injured since the invasion began, according to a new report by the United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine.
In a recent The New York Times opinion piece, Ukrainian journalist Nataliya Gumenyuk writes: "It can seem that the world watches Russia’s war on Ukraine as if it were a film. When attention wanes, there is a demand for an ending — if not good, then bad. For Ukrainians, this is not cinema but reality. It will last as long as it lasts."
