That's a good point. He could have been fragged or set up for a own goal. It probably wouldn't be difficult. Tell him it's safe and send him out after a bender?
1847: Mexican–American War: On two occasions, Lieutenant Colonel Braxton Bragg (later a Confederate general) survived an attempt on his life when an artillery shell exploded under his bed.
He tried to commit suicide after the war and ended up just blinding himself. His wife left him, his kids stopped contacting him. He lived in a run down facility for years before his death of malnutrition blind, alone, unloved.
If Russia stops fighting, the war is over and everyone can go on with their lives.
If Ukraine stops fighting, Russia will kill more and destroy what is Ukrainian.

It is a moral imperative to ensure that Russia can no longer engage an offensive war within our lifetimes.
