Opinion
No one knows exactly how many people have been killed in the Ukraine war, which has now lasted four years and eight months--longer than World War II in the Pacific, the American Civil War, or World War I. There is still no end in sight. Estimates of the human toll vary widely, since it is in the interest of both sides to exaggerate the losses of the enemy while under-reporting their own casualties.
