I heard on a Dutch mainstream news outlet that Ukraine actually asked the Red Cross to do death counts in Ukraine. That’s a great move to get better numbers out there, because it’s an independent third party.

Is the Red Cross everywhere and will they catch every death: no, war is too chaotic for that. However, whatever the Red Cross lists as Russian and Ukrainian deaths, show at least the minimum, and those numbers are reliable.
