It will take months to get real figures, and even then they will be both exaggerated and diminished by both sides so we might never know how many people had died in this conflict. Unfortunately I don't see anything good coming out of this war, more and more people will get radicalized on both sides and peace will get even more illusionary
I'm skeptical that there's been any inflation. All deaths that have been recorded have been directly identified, names and identification papers and everything. There's no way to actually exaggerate, unless they're hiding survivors somehow.
