This is most definitely not a 'local' problem'! What effect do you think this is having and is going to have on the GLOBAL economy and security situation? How many countries will be impacted by the millions of refugees that this is causing?
If you think Putin needs an excuse to expand this war or to start any other war, then you haven't been paying attention.
