Five years, not eight. Even the Donbas People's Republic's own curator of wartime casualty statistics has confirmed, the civil war more or less ended in 2019.

This is from THEIR published statistics. Not the UN's, not Ukraine's. The image is taken from the first PDF, at the top of the page (title: "ДОКЛАД УПОЛНОМОЧЕННОГО ПО ПРАВАМ ЧЕЛОВЕКА В ДОНЕЦКОЙ НАРОДНОЙ РЕСПУБЛИКЕ ЗА 2020 ГОД"

My bad - I posted the wrong image! That’s the UN one.

Inside the PDF, scroll down to page 22. The DPR numbers for 2018 to 2020 are 154, 160 and 44.

So you can literally compare the (possibly understated) UN numbers to the (possibly overstated) DPR numbers, side by side.

What’s interesting is NO source has numbers higher than 50 for any year after 2020.
