World’s Stance

The conflict has already resulted in significant damage to Ukraine, along with the displacement of millions of refugees and the loss of thousands of lives. Russia is now the most sanctioned country, and Europe has been adversely affected by the sudden surge in energy prices.

For POLITICO, Giovanna Coi and Arnau Busquets Guàrdia created a summary of the year, using data and graphics to show where it all has already led. Several charts show the number of casualties, the displacement of people, and the destruction of infrastructure, highlighting the humanitarian crisis that has ensued. Other visualizations demonstrate sanctions against Russia and changes in energy-related imports to the European Union.

Look at the figures, charts, and maps on POLITICO.

Russia’s Territorial Evolution

When speaking about Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin often refers to Russia’s “historical territories.” If you want to understand what could be meant, you might like to familiarize yourself with the territorial evolution of Russia throughout history.

Russia Beyond has an interactive map visualizing the timeline of the changes in Russia’s borders over the centuries, starting from 862. The map allows users to scroll down to see the sequence of land additions during different periods, according to data from Wikipedia, geographyofrussia.com, and hist-geo.net.

Check out the project on Russia Beyond.
