Friday marks 100 days since the first Russian troops invaded Ukraine. From the most recent moments of the war to the early days, the images and stories featured here show what the conflict has wrought during its first three months.
Russia made significant military gains in the eastern provinces as Ukrainian forces begged the West for more military aid. Civilians were evacuated from hospitals in the line of fire. Others were buried in cemeteries far from home.
The port city of Mariupol, under horrific siege since the early days of the war, finally fell to Russian forces — marking a strategic victory for an army initially hamstrung by logistical and tactical disorganization.After troops retreated from the Kyiv suburb of Bucha, The Washington Post documented more than 200 dead bodies. Many had been beheaded, burned, sexually abused or maimed.MARCH
Air raid sirens sounded daily as Russia’s bombings intensified. Ukrainians began to adjust to life under war, fleeing their homes, living in bunkers, burying their dead. Those escaping Mariupol told stories of a city being reduced to rubble, with residents cut off from food and water.Still, some communities managed moments of celebration. In Pokrovske, a wedding postponed so that the groom-to-be could join in the fighting was held at last.
Families quickly began to take shelter in subway stations. A trickle of departures threatened to become a flood as Ukrainians left the first cities under attack, boarding trains and traveling westward with their children, pets and most-precious belongings.
