Don’t confuse “casualties” with “deaths”!
The Ukraine war has had nowhere near one million dead. More like a couple of hundred thousand at most.

If YOU act in a way that result of that act is death, then they are victim of YOUR act.
Current Russian establishment are responsible for situation which will not happen without them doing activities to start, sustain this situation. Situation which kills people. Current Russian establishments are therefor killers.
EDIT : this says 500 000 in 2023, 2 years ago. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/18/us/politics/ukraine-russi...
this says roughly 200 000 in 2025 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgkm7lly61do
EDIT2: people from current Russian establishment acknowledged 22 million dead because of soviets. so even then we are talking about more people dead than Germany, for soviet regime deaths.. so real number are not lower than 22 million (Russian gov) and not higher than 62 million ( R.J.Rummel university of Hawaii.
EDIT3: Victims ≣ dead.
For victims AS casualties (physical, mental, economic,...) we have to add BILLIONS more. So lets stay in tens of millions. It is simpler to calculate.
Conversely, the "loss of working age men" in both Ukraine and Russia is much higher than the death toll from the war for various reasons: poor demographics, emigration, disability, permanently increased standing army size, reduced health care quality, etc...
so they are not MINUS,
they are PLUS just in other column.
So Russian establishment is not only killer, but also on top of that they are terroristic toward their own citizen.
yes i meant only dead.
