As Russia-Ukraine peace talks drag on with little resolution, the death toll continues to rise in Eastern Europe - and for many Russian Christians, the ongoing invasion of a country with which they have shared such close partnership is the cause of “great sorrow.”

Ukraine Losses, a website that records Ukrainian casualty data, currently lists 76,000 Military deaths while estimates of Russian losses are upwards of 100,000 according to the BBC.

In figures reported by The Wall Street Journal, the total loss of life on both sides numbers more than a million people.
