According to this article from February 2023, the UN listed civilian deaths at 8,000 including 2,000 from Mariupol.

Do you have a source for the Ukrainian government value you stated?

Seems to be total deaths so not directly comparable to civilian deaths. That said this graphic has no sources so points for trying I guess.

But the demographics and density of Gaza will likely make this a much deadlier conflict regardless of the exact numbers.

Those numbers come directly from the ghost of Kyiv.
