Loss of life is only part of the general squandering of energy which is happening, leading inevitably to much more loss of life, that we see going on. The tensions were there for years, since 2014. The catalyst seems to have been completion of the gas pipeline to Germany, the war started just as that was about to be commissioned. Now we are seeing a vastly exasperated energy crisis, no-one actually knows how expensive fuel is going to get, at least in UK, and probably Europe, unafordable for the vast majority, most of whom are likely to bankrupt ourselves to keep trying to get it. The magnitude of the coming shit-storm is way above what we are being told. A nuclear war might be some kind of solution envisaged by a few, who don't know or care that none of this hell is necessary, if we just turned to solar power with all of our fire-power, in every country, we would have it very quick.
