How about the civilians in Ukraine who have to cower in basements, watch their loved ones die, and flee the the country leaving their entire lives behind? The children in Ukraine who have to live through a traumatic war losing all of the stability that they have?

The suffering of Russian civilians is nothing compared to what is happening to civilians in Ukraine.

One person suffering is not a good reason to go cause some other person who isn't at fault to suffer.

Comparing suffering is useless. There is no objective measure for pain, just as diminishing the suffering of Ukrainians because Yemen or Palestine is pointless.

Some brave Russian people are now suffering in Putin's prisons for speaking out against war. Some mothers will never know how or where their children died. Some African students in Ukraine are suffering from racism perpetrated by other war victims.

It's all bad and they all deserve compassion.
