Two years ago, on February 24, 2022, Russia launched a massive invasion of neighboring Ukraine. The International community responded with military aid and sanctions. The U.N. expelled Russia from the Human Rights Council and the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Russia failed to capture Ukraine’s largest cities or topple Ukraine’s government. The fighting has ground to a bloody stalemate with hundreds of thousands of casualties on both sides. Now, the U.S. Congress appears poised to cut off aid to Ukraine and Russia is raising the prospects of peace negotiations.
