The Russo-Russian War on Ukraine

There is the possibility that they might carry out a reasonably ineffectual explosion at the nuclear power plant. So as terrible it would be environmentally, morally, it would at least mean that they had given up and all they wanted to do was scorched earth.

And their continual destruction of Ukrainian infrastructure generally. You can read James Meek's report from Kiev in the latest issue of the LRB.
