shelling residential areas in the LDNR killing women and children since 2014 — about 14,000 killed inside the LDNR, around 10,000 of them civilians.

That's what you said. And now you claim you said something different. You are now saying that the OSCE reports said "over 3,000" civilian deaths. Since when is 14,000 or even 10,000 the same as 3,000?

Why do you post fake information?

The UN published in a report as of December 2021

During the entire conflict period, from 14 April 2014 to 31 December 2021, OHCHR recorded a total of 3,106 conflict-related civilian deaths (1,852 men, 1,072 women, 102 boys, 50 girls, and 30 adults whose sex is unknown). Taking into account the 298 deaths on board Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 on 17 July 2014, the total death toll of the conflict on civilians has reached at least 3,404

In most of the years after 2014 the largest number of deaths resulted from accidents with mines or unexploded ordnance.

Of course none of those civilians would have died from war if Russia had not armed and led the fighting in the LNR and DNR, or shot down an airliner full of innocent people.

Oh, and I forgot. The 3,401 people includes all civilians who were killed on both sides of the conflict. The total isn't just the civilians who lost their lives in the DNR and LPR, but also the civilians in the government controlled parts of Ukraine who lost their lives due to shelling, small arms fire, and accidents with mines or other ordnance.

And of course the tourists flying to Malaysia.

Can you not read? I said 14,000 killed, 10,000 of which were civilians (meaning 4,000 were military). Then corrected myself — actually there were 10,000 civilian casualties, not deaths. Of those 10,000 casualties, around 3,000 died, 7,000 injured.

What is your problem?
