Ukraine War Intensifies Under Trump's Second Term: Civilian Casualties Soar

• Despite Trump's promise to end the war in a day, the conflict in Ukraine has intensified during his first year back in office, with civilian casualties rising sharply.
• In 2025, over 2,500 Ukrainian civilians were killed, a 20% increase from 2024 and the highest toll since 2022, alongside increased drone and ballistic missile attacks.
• Trump's altered US strategy involved direct engagement with Putin and reduced aid to Ukraine, while Russia accelerated its domestic weapons production.
• Negotiations resumed, but Putin showed no signs of retreating from core objectives, leading to Russia capturing more Ukrainian territory in 2025.
• The humanitarian crisis worsened with over 53,000 drone attacks on civilian targets and a threefold increase in ballistic missile strikes, severely impacting infrastructure and daily life.
