Indeed. War gets people killed, indiscriminately. Only madmen too out of touch with reality refuse to consider peace.
Both sides of this conflict have some of the worst of humanity in positions where they get to decide over such things. And as a result the situation has become an absolute meat grinder of the innocent.
I don’t even pretend to know a way to sort it out. Except that not adding more blades to the grinder might be a good start.
