Collateral damage. Insignificant for now, but the longer it takes, it will eventually lead to hate crimes against Russian immigrants abroad.
The danger is that this conflict leads to falling back into black and white binary thinking. The same thinking that led to Russian soldiers killing Russians that live on the other side of a virtual line.
I'm in two minds about all the military hardware that's currently being given to Ukraine. In an active war it's not much of a deterrent and will lead to more casualties. It's escalating the conflict further. But that's human nature, time to go at it... So far civilians blocking the streets seem more effective. The papers here say 660K people have fled the Ukraine so far, perhaps more effort should be put into helping those people out instead of sending weapons.
