The passage of time since the start of Russia’s full-scale war on Ukraine has demonstrated both high and low points, for more than 1,000 days now, ERR’s front-line camera operator Kristjan Svirgsden writes.
This war has not gone on for 1,000 days; it is simply the case that we here, in the rest of Europe, tend to mark anniversaries which have round figures.
It should not be forgotten that the war in Donbas only really entered the global consciousness on February 24, 2022.
For the Ukrainians, however, the war has lasted for a decade.
For myself, the full-scale war actually began earlier than February 24 – I was in Belarus with news editor Anton Aleksejev covering the [Russian] Zapad military exercises, on February 19, 2022.
