Year: 2025

Abstract With both the Russian invasion of Eastern Ukraine and Crimea in 2014, and the war that began in February 2022, Ukraine has faced extensive damage, numerous casualties, widespread displacement of people, and significant psychological trauma.

The Commission was created in February 2023, coincident with the first anniversary of the Russian attacks. Prof. Irin
