It's difficult to determine whether the war was "worth it" as it's a complex and multifaceted conflict with various perspectives. However, it's clear that the conflict has caused immense suffering and damage, and a peaceful resolution is necessary to prevent further harm.
Regarding Russian relatives in Ukraine, many have indeed suffered due to the conflict. Putin's actions have led to:

- Economic hardship
- Emotional trauma
It's essential to recognize the human cost of the conflict and work towards a peaceful resolution that respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, while also addressing the concerns and interests of all parties involved.
