War and consequences

Wars are man-made. It may be to suppress some other nation, grab other countries or may be to gain an income by selling arms and ammunition. It could also be an insurgency against the government of a country. The results of wars are always devastating. In any war, it is always the innocent children and people who are affected adversely. Many such innocent lives are lost. A larger number are rendered homeless.

In addition to the people being adversely affected, wars also cause irreparable damage to buildings. Sometimes buildings of historical and architectural value get damaged or demolished.

Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine has many buildings which are of architectural beauty and these buildings have been in existence for a long time. I do hope that the Russian army will be careful not to cause any damage to the building of historical and architectural value in Kyiv.
