Five-hundred days ago, in the early hours of a cold February morning, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of its western neighbour,Ukraine.
As the war reaches another grim milestone on Saturday, here are just some of the sombre ways it has upended life for tens of millions of people:
6.3 million Ukrainians have become refugees. An additional six million are internally displaced within Ukraine.
Most refugees are women and children, as Ukrainian men aged between 18 and 60 have been instructed to remain in the country and fight.
9,083 civilians have been killed in Ukraine,the real toll, however, is feared to be much higher.
15,779 civilians have been wounded in Ukraine.
The cost of destruction is thought to be more than $143bn*, according to the latest findings from the Kyiv School of Economics
It is estimated that Russia controls less than 20 percent of Ukrainian territory
