It was 300k like two and half months ago. Now it's 365k. I hope it's going to be waaaaaay more than 500k this year

Looking at the wiki it is claimed casualties including injuries. Confirmed are apparently a fraction of that.

I wouldnt be suprised if we would have a very different outlook after the war actually ends.

Casualties do include injuries unless otherwise mentioned

A casualty, as a term in military usage, is a person in military service, combatant or non-combatant, who becomes unavailable for duty due to any of several circumstances, including death, injury, illness, capture or desertion.

It is sometimes misunderstood to mean "fatalities", but non-fatal injuries are also casualties.

Please don't talk like that. Imagine if it was you or a family member dying in a needless war like that. Remember that people aren't their government

people aren’t their government

But they are their actions. If you go to Ukraine as a part of the killing, raping, looting Russian army, that's what you are.

Russians only understand violence. All of that "let's talk, pls don't be mean" bullshit does not work on them. If you do that, they'll think that you're weak and gay and whatever. If they where normal fucking people, they would not let 365k of them to just die. 80% of them support this war. Hell, even vatniks in my country think that it's part of russia. Yes, some good russians exists, but I'm not going to look for a spoon of sugar in a pile of shit
