1,500 dead and injured “every single day
No idea how many of those are dead vs injured, but to put that into context, the UK lost 457 people in Afghanistan in a 20 year period, and 179 in Iraq. 255 were lost in the Falklands.
I'd take the figures coming out of Ukraine with a pinch of salt but even if they're half of what's being said, these numbers are crazy. Such a crazy waste of life on all sides.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
