What is The Russo-Ukrainian War in 2023: Towards a renewed emphasis on the mental health of at-risk groups and forensic-psychiatric considerations about?

Nearly a year on since Russian troops crossed the border into Ukraine and the conflict has carried a substantial human toll and created an acute mental health burden (Haque et al., 2022;Goto, Pinchuk, Kolodezhny, Pimenova, & Skokauskas, 2022). At the time of writing, estimates indicate that there have been thousands of fatalities and casualties (Posen, 2023), large numbers of refugees fleeing violence who remain displaced (United Nations, 2023), and serious damage to critical healthcare infrastructure (Gostin & Rubenstein, 2022). When the situation escalated in March 2022, immediate mental health concerns were raised about prisoners of war (POWs), individuals receiving psychiatric in-patient care and people living in detention (Liebrenz et al., 2022). As the fighting continues with no imminent signs of a lasting ceasefire, we wish to reemphasise the necessity of protecting at-risk groups and highlight ongoing forensic-psychiatric considerations.
