Abstract: This study throws light on the schema of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and makes a significant approach to understand the alarming effects of the war on different sectors including the effect on their mental health. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has triggered seismic repercussions: a fast-moving refugee crisis, unprecedented sanctions against a major economy and a shakeup of global relationships, including a reinvigorated NATO. We have discussed about the brutal impacts of mental illness on healthcare workers, refugees, prisoners of war, women, and children. The aggressive increase of war crimes in the middle of the warfare and social and economic effects have been dealt, including its forensic relevance. This study will help the reader, to gain some insightful facts on how a war damages a country, segment by segment, and disrupts the development of the social and economic fabric of the nation.
