I think Ukraine might have actually been hit the hardest if we’re dividing it by nations, but you’re right certainly that the narrative falls apart when you consider that Russia itself was quite effected, and the part of Ukraine that was effected was mainly eastern Ukraine, which even then was much more Russian than the west. The idea of it being a genocide by Russians against Ukrainians is just complete garbage and the answer is indeed Nazis doing “accusation in a mirror”.
I could be wrong, there’s a cottage industry of pumping the numbers for Ukraine specifically, so my view is probably distorted. Kazakhstan was minimally hit comparably hard, so your original point remains regardless, as you say.
If I remember correctly, Ukraine lost more in real numbers, but Kazakhstan lost more in proportion to their population size. I don’t remember the percentages.

I thought Kazakhstan got it worse but it doesnt really matter, its all about the narrative for these people.
