      You can blame those deaths on Putin.

      Ukraine wouldn’t need those equipment if Putin didn’t invade a sovereign nation.

      He can literally decide tomorrow to pull back and no deaths would follow anymore.

      True, but unclear what that implies. Some people say weapons kill people so we should not produce / supply weapons, expecting less people would die. Others point at aggressors using (their home made) weapons to kill people, pointing at the need to supply their victims, expecting less people would die.

      Comparing the track records of Russia (frequently invading and killing neighbors) and Ukraine (not so much) it’s easy for me to take sides. But the tragedy exists, which is why I despise all these things.
