Depends how you count “big”. Russia-Ukraine has had about 1 million deaths, and has completely changed how Europe thinks about security- it’s hardly a sideshow. Then again, not much territory has changed hands and there has been no regime change yet.

Russia occupies about 20% of Ukraine, an area three times larger than the country I live in (the Netherlands).

I wish... But estimates say between 230,000 and 468,500 dead orcs.

One million casualties is injured, missing, and dead… not just the dead.

Casulties, not deaths.
