   Nineteen months in, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “special military   
   operation” in Ukraine is an ongoing cauldron of death, terror and   
   destruction. After 24 years of reigning over the Kremlin, Putin has reduced   
   Russia to a one-dimensional    
   society defined both at home and abroad by death.   
      
   Depending on estimates — Russian Ministry of Defense casualty counts are   
   notoriously unreliable — more than 283,000 Russian soldiers have died in   
   Putin’s wars in Chechnya, Georgia, the North Caucasus, Syria, Central   
   African Republic and Mali. And    
   if Kyiv’s estimate of the Kremlin’s losses is accurate, nearly 270,000   
   have died since Putin began his war against Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022.   
      
   The civilian death toll is equally horrific: 90,000-plus in those other   
   conflicts, plus nearly 10,000 Ukrainians killed alongside 18,000 injured; 554   
   of them children. Most are the result of Russian war crimes, including   
   genocide, heinous crimes against    
   humanity and torture chambers according to a UN-backed investigation.   
      
   Putin’s reign of death and terror is also playing out daily inside of   
   Russia. He orders critics and journalists to be murdered, poisons opposition   
   leaders and ruthlessly arranges the deaths of anyone perceived to be a threat,   
   including, most recently,    
   decapitating Yevgeny Prigozhin and his Wagner Group associates over the skies   
   of greater Moscow.
