>11,520 civilians have been killed, 633 of those killed were children. A total of 23,640 people were reported to have been injured, of whom 1,551 injured were children.
That’s about 1/5th the civilian death count of Gaza. The Ukraine war has been ongoing for 30 months. Gaza has been ongoing for 11.
Ukraine’s population is 24 times larger than Gaza.
Large amounts of civilians casualties occured early on when civvies could not evacuate and before Frontline stalled.
Back then the toll was incredibly heavy and Ukraine was only able to prove it in areas which they liberated.
Areas that remain under Russian control are a black hole with likely really huge number of dead civilians that were covered up. There are probably hundreds of Buchas that were simply not uncovered yet.
It would not surprise me if Mariupol alone has over 100k dead civilians (as some Ukrainian sources suspect).
“Speaking to The Independent, prosecutor Yuriy Belousov revealed his fears about the human cost on the civilian population.
“There could be 100,000 civilians killed across Ukraine, whose bodies will have to be found and identified once occupied territory is liberated,” Mr Belousov said.

It was brutal according to all accounts:
