the known number of civilian deaths from various direct or indirect war actions (i.e. bombing etc.) is around 200.000, with around 10-20k being attributed to the U.S by most estimates.

russia is getting closer every day but they'll take a while to reach it yet. but they are comparable numbers.

Russia’s numbers are only lower because they’ve largely been defeated.

If Russia had not been pushed away from Kyiv as dramatically as they were then their numbers would be a lot worse.

Also, Ukraine has better public transport, etc. and a functional government and support from the rest of Europe for its refugees, which has given civilians time and opportunities to relocate.

There are reports of around 10k civilian deaths in Mariupol alone so they might be way beyond that already if it’s substantiated.
