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