As harsh as it is, it's not even comparable to what the Russians have done to the citizens of Ukraine. So far Ukraine has done a great deal by not deliberately targeting civilians in their homes with bombs and drones killing whole families, whole neighborhoods, hospitals, schools, places of worship, etc.

Putin could end this right this second.
