Knowing how the Russians operate, they might decide to take the money back in skin.

They do tend to be pretty vindictive.

But it is kind of a funny concept, which is sort of an anodyne for an otherwise, really horrible situation. The Ukraine war is experiencing WWI-level casualties.

I don't think it's any more risky for the Ukrainian military. They've already collectively been on Russia's wanted list for years and it's not like the country might get invaded by the Russian army any harder since it would have already happened long ago.

Good point. I was thinking of the individuals, as opposed to the institutions. The big guys will be protected, but the delivery people and analysts won’t be, on the Russian side, and the lower-level folks on the Ukrainian side could be selected for extra attention.

They are already at war. Russia clearly doesn't have any other hand to play, that's why they're offering a bounty.

Ukraine has nothing more to fear from Russia, because Russia doesn't have anything else to threaten them with apart from nukes, which also is not an option that will give them victory.

Haven't we already reached that point? They were trying to kill a guy ...

There's a war going on you know right?

True, and if you’d read my follow-up comment, you might understand my point a bit better.

But my original comment was unclear, so it’s my bad.
