That's an extremely ungenerous interpretation of the headline, and it's wrong.

They are necessary for the Russian war effort, because sanctions are preventing the manufacturing of a modern replacement, which is what the headline is in reference to.

Now, you may feel the war is unnecessary, and I would go further by saying it's prosecutors and planners should be hanged from the neck, until dead.

But again, that's not relevant here.
