Food security, access to fertilizer and unstable currency markets are just a few of the global implications of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The impact is massive and the only solution requires a united effort to force Moscow to be accountable for the crimes it has committed.
When in March 2022 – directly after the fule-scale Russian invasion began – Oleh Hordiychuk was shot in both his legs by Russian soldiers in the backyard of his house in Hostomel, Ukraine, then blindfolded along with his wife and a 23-year-old son, taken to Belarus and then Russia where his son has been illegally detained ever since, maybe he was just a civilian in the wrong place at the wrong time?

According to UN-collected data, the Russian invasion has already affected the lives of around 1.6 billion people in 94 countries worldwide by triggering the greatest global cost-of-living crisis in a generation.
