I tried to recreate The Economist's recent chart - cumulative population within 1 km of reported strikes during the Iran/Israel war - but for Ukraine, over 4 years of full-scale war. Built it end-to-end with Claude (Opus 4.6). Code, data, methodology in repo below. #RStats #UAView #EconSky

While Ukrainians face 30+ hour blackouts, Moscow's Higher School of Economics hosts seminars with top international speakers-then uses the same rooms for drone fundraisers. Academics don't get paid for seminars. So why present at an institution actively funding mass murder of Ukrainians? #Econsky
