Unfortunately war does mean these types of happenings....war is always a bad deal as innocent people always get hurt and die. So many in the breakaway republics have died there fighting on both sides for years now. I think last count was 140,000 deaths there.
War is hell. The Ukrainians did not invade Russia.
Russia invaded the Ukraine.
Therefore any death in the Ukraine is a direct result of
Russian hostility.
Russia has no business inside the Ukraine.
It may not like what is going on there, but so what?
The Ukraine is a sovereign nation and Russia has no
authority to declare it a rogue state and march in.
It is trying to destroy the government. Is is therefore
trying to annex the nation and it’s territory.
That is sad. I appreciate the point on the deaths.
The number I see constantly in Russian social media on this total is not 140,000, but 14,000.
