Exact same thing that will happen if you pass aid to Ukraine, except less people will die.

I think it's up to Ukraine to decide if they want to defend themselves or not and they have obviously selected defense.

Russia is the aggressor and is solely responsible for the deaths in this case.

Ukraine decided. To vote a comedian to a serious office.
They were probably hoping for a comedy, but what they have got is a tragedy.

Russia is doing what it had promised to do in its earlier agreements with Ukraine. It can't be blamed if the electorate in another country doesn't take things seriously.

Russia falling on its face, as an aggressor in this invasion, to a country ran by a comedian really helps to put context to Russia's decline. They basically shot themselves in the foot and if there weren't lives being lost, it'd be fairly comedic.

The only comedy is that Russia is falling on its face since 26 months now.
