A 2020 demographic study of European Jewry puts the number of Ukrainians who identify as Jews at 43,000. This is a difficult question to answer with specificity, complicated by the cultural makeup of Ukrainian Jewry and its history. Over 10,000 Russian and Ukrainian troops were killed in the 2014 war. Most analysts are calling the escalation Europe’s most significant armed conflict since World War II. But early signs show that this new conflict could quickly progress to a larger-scale affair.Įxplosions and Russian troops have now been reported all the way from Crimea in the east to the Lviv area in the west, and Ukrainian officials are estimating dozens of soldiers and civilians are already dead. This is the second time in the past decade that Putin has invaded parts of the country - in 2014, Russia annexed territory in the Crimea region, kickstarting months of fighting near the two countries’ borders. After weeks of ominous reports on Russia’s plans to attempt to annex parts of Ukraine - a former member of the Soviet Union that has over time grown close to NATO and Western powers, a fact that infuriates the Kremlin - Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on television early Thursday that he had initiated a “special military operation.” As he did so, explosions were heard in the capital Kyiv and several other large Ukrainian cities.
