Almost exactly a year has passed since the start of Russia’s second invasion of Ukraine in less than a decade – and what a year it’s been, marked first by jubilation at the unexpected success of the Ukrainian armed forces, then by consternation at the realization that this was going to turn into a long, grinding, attritional war.
