Almost a quarter of a million people dead because of Putin’s ego.

They’re not all dead. They’re casualties, but not dead necessarily. 100-200k are. still a huge number though. Plus many of them have huge injuries, some dont have arms, some are blind … devastating.

Just a correction. It’s more like 200k dead.

Sorry, you’re right - fixed the above. I don’t doubt that it will unfortunately get 500k before it’s all over though.
