15. The Russian Invasion of Ukraine (2022-Present)
In February 2022, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine, leading to widespread destruction of infrastructure, including residential areas, schools, and hospitals. The conflict has resulted in thousands of civilian casualties and forced millions of Ukrainians to flee their homes, creating a significant refugee crisis. The war has also disrupted global supply chains, particularly in energy and agriculture. The future of Ukraine remains uncertain, with ongoing international efforts to mediate a resolution and provide humanitarian assistance. (bbc.com)
