Even if you combine the casualties from both sides before 2022, they still wouldn’t be even a fraction of what has happened during the full-scale war, no matter which source you choose to use. I’m not even sure why you decided to mention this. Yeah, I misspoke about the east. But define “very limited”. For example, last night, Russia hit about 20 houses. I’m not saying it was deliberate, but did you somehow calculated that fraction of casualties/firepower caused by Ukraine is higher than Russia’s? Or do you just think that all casualties caused by Russia, like the attack on Okhmatdyt children’s hospital, were accidental, while all attacks done by Ukraine, like the college one, were intentional?

An attack on a children’s hospital would be caricaturally evil. And only 2 deaths? Sounds like that could be from air defense misfiring or downing something on the way to somewhere else. Confirms my limited collateral dammage. I don’t believe for one minute that would be the target. That hospital could be gone if they wanted it, and the rest of Kiev with it. It is nothing like the almost daily attacks on markets in Donetsk with countless more civilians killed. There is a pattern, so no I don’t believe anything the ukros claim. Like the ridiculous story where they blamed Russians for targeting the nuclear plant in Zaporizia. As if they would bomb that while it was in their possession.
