In a very superficial way, yes; in a meaningful way, not at all imo. In response to Black Lives Matter, "all lives matter" was a way of delegitimizing a marginalized group's fight for justice and equality. Recognizing all victims of war and not strictly NATO soldiers (ie the red poppy) is about including more marginalized people in our memorializing, not fewer. It's quite opposite to "all lives matter" actually

The "all lives matter" equivalent here would be asking: what about people from the countries that didn't participate in the war?
