It's possible to acknowledge the necessity of death without celebrating that necessity as if is a positive good.

Stoking negative emotions is how Putin stays in power and starts his wars. Giving him validation by reinforcing the world-view that the world is out to get Russia doesn't help, does it? Explain to me how celebrating dead Russian soldiers hastens the end of the war, or cultivates a permanent end to Russian aggression. It doesn't. It's just a selfish indulgence in righteous denunciation to relieve the feeling of powerlessness engendered by witnessing horrors you have no control over.
