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

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

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.
