13,883 civilians died in Ukraine as a result of Russian invasion between 24 Feb. 2022 and 31 July 2025 according to United Nations. It's really easy to Google it.
The very same UN stresses that these numbers severely undercount due to lack of access to occupied territories and mostly reflect deaths in free Ukraine. The figures from the areas where most of the fighting has taken place remain unknown. Realistic estimates go far beyond the death toll in Gaza; people illegally conscripted from the occupied territories into the Russian armed forces alone add several tens of thousands more deaths.
On 11 April, Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko stated that over 10,000 civilians had died in the Russian siege of Mariupol.[323] On 12 April, city officials reported that up to 20,000 civilians had been killed.[323] (this is 1 month into siege) On the same day, the Mayor of the city reported that about 21,000 civilians had been killed.[324] An updated Ukrainian death toll the following month put the number of civilians killed at at least 22,000.[325]
On August 29, President of Mariupol Television, volunteer and civil activist Mykola Osychenko said to Dnipro TV that, according to the insider information, 87,000 deaths have been currently documented in morgues in Mariupol. Besides, 26,750 bodies are buried in mass graves, and many more are buried in the yards of the apartment blocks and private houses, or still under the rubble.[326]
In early November, Ukraine stated that at least 25,000 civilians had been killed in Mariupol.[46][47] In late December, based on the discovery of 10,300 new mass graves, the Associated Press estimated that the true death toll may be up to three times that figure.[327] The Uppsala Conflict Data Program estimates of the total death toll resulting from the siege range from 27,000 to 88,000 fatalities, most of them civilians.[49]
just to put things into perspective, this siege lasted less than 3 months
If you had quoted but one more sentence by accident, you might have included the study that counted individual graves in and around Mariupol:
"According to a 2023 study by Human Rights Watch and two other organizations, there were at least 8,034 excess deaths in Mariupol between March 2022 and February 2023."
Sure it would be best to build the tunnels away from civilian infrastructure but there's barely any away-from-civilian-infrastructure places in the Gaza Strip.
What would be even better, IMHO, is if Israel just stopped murdering Gazans.
500 USD/month it's enough to survive in Poland anymore. Minimum monthly wage is $1173 before taxes or $883 after taxes and that's not enough to make a living if you have to rent.
I don't see the point. In the end it's always the consumer who wants to buy stuff from the companies.
It's as meaningless as blaming China for high emissions. Yes, the country is the number one CO2 producer, so what? What if we divide China into two or three smaller countries? Whould that make China drop from the first place? Yes. Would that actually change anything? No.
It's the consumer who decides to buy stuff they crave but don't actually need. You want a new laptop/phone/car/whatever because the old one is missing a single feature? Then take responsibility for your actions and don't blame companies that are just doing what you paid them to do.
I love reading while I'm on a noisy train. I have difficulty understanding speech if it's noisy and/or several people talk at the same time so other passengers talking to each other or on their phone don't bother me most of the time. But I can clearly see that I'm loosing focus if the train stops for more than a minute or two. I then start hearing people's conversations like they just started talking at the same moment or, if there's nobody else or everyone is totally quiet, my own thoughts and immediately loose focus.
Oh, an yes - I was diagnosed with ADHD like 15 years ago while in early twenties
