casualties and deaths[edit]

« Casualties « is the military term - dead or too wounded to fight or missing. Most people are interested in the humanitarian aspect, for which death and injury are radically different things. we should write here of deaths and injuries. 2A01:CB08:8BE:AA00:9DC7:C604:B22C:C486 (talk) 06:01, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Civilian casualties[edit]

Why not add other, higher estimates of civilian casualties? Human Rights Watch - at least 8,100 victims in Mariupol, add UN data, we get an absolute minimum of 19,000 dead, exactly absolute Read the method for determining the absolute minimum in Mariupol from HRW, it says that in just 1.5 years, cemeteries in Mariupol expanded to an area equivalent to at least 10,300 burials with a natural mortality rate of 2,200 people during this time. This is worth considering as an estimate of the absolute minimum deaths beyond the 10,000+ deaths from the UN 88.155.210.83 (talk) 11:10, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On this same note I have no idea why the AP estimate of 75,000 civilian dead in Mariupol, the Ukrainian chief war crimes prosecutor Yuriy Belousov's estimate of 100,000 civilian dead in Feb 2023, and the US estimate of 42,000 civilian dead in May 2023 were all deleted from this page.--Nihlus1 (talk) 22:14, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

“Up to 500,000” in lead[edit]

Combining the military casualties of Russia and Ukraine, and adding civilian deaths, it seems like the total casualties is much closer to a million by now. Should this be updated? Juxlos (talk) 11:19, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
