and who knows how many more are buried in the rubble, yet to be added to the toll.

I imagine there are more Ukrainian dead chidren yet to be accounted for also.

There is no attempt to downplay or compare those figures, it's just relaying what the reported numbers are. Both figures are tragic and the killers should be held accountable when both wars are over.
