9. It's called genocide.

Russia wants Ukraine without Ukrainians. These people will never been seen again.

There is no disincentive to Putin for engaging in genocide. In the best possible outcome, Ukraine will drive Russia from Ukraine. Ukraine cannot invade Russia to either free its citizens or bring war criminals to justice. Similarly, NATO will never invade Russia. The worst possible outcome is that Russia will kill enough Ukrainians that there is no one left to fight.

NATO could have stopped this when it was clear that genocide was always part of the plan. Maybe the lesson will have been learned when Putin invades Moldova.
