Additional stats: the US and allies directly killed ~ 13 000 civilians during the occupation of Iraq.
It's likely the Russians have exceeded that number in Mariupol alone in just a few weeks.
The difference in these numbers reflects that Russia is deliberately targeting civilians.
I condemn the occupation of Iraq, but agree it is exceptionally obvious that the two situations are in no way equivalent.

Doesn’t seem unreasonable an estimate given the backlog and reports of corpses in the street yet to be collected, along with missing persons from bomb shelters etc
