| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Russia’s war against Ukraine is now well into its second year. The contested area in eastern Ukraine is still marked by regular exchanges of fire, and equally regular losses of life. The United Nations reported in late July 2015 that at least 6,832 people had perished since April 2014, along with over 17,000 wounded. There have been frequent warnings of new Russian offensives, but these have yet to materialise. For all the effort put in by both sides, the basic contours of the conflict have barely changed since September 2014. |
