And "casualty" isn't a synonym for "death". It means dead and wounded (and missing, sometimes also captured but this one depends), and she even plainly told you "killed or wounded". Apparently you're just too dumb to understand anything you read, even if it comes in very short twitter bits of up to 280 characters.
But speaking of the "refugees into Europe", it will mean to or at least through Poland. It would completely overwhelm our country as we're unprepared for this and which is something I also dread personally.
As far as refugees into Poland ... having seen how vengeful these petty would-be-tyrants are, I would not be surprised if an attempt will be made to punish Poland for resisting.
As in no EU help? I don't think so. It will be just a disaster within a humanitarian disaster on its own. Maciej Wąsik said they're going to be "ready" (optimistically) for "even" a million. What if it is 3 million? What if 5 million? In the middle of winter. Ukrainian population is greater than ours to put in perspective.
Also, the first range is specifically for Ukranian military, the second range is for (unspecified) civilians, and how they're made "casualties" is not specified, either (could be direct bombing/military incursion of cities, or could be by supply chain and energy disruption. No food, no heat. Riots.)
Honestly all such estimates are just wild guesswork. Like how even planners of it excepted that thousands of Americans might die in Gulf War, and analysts were talking of tens of thousands of casualties (and the public was oddly okay with it). For example, Zbigniew Brzezinski predicted 20,000 casualties (Schwarzkopf's own "worst case scenario" was in this range, with 18,000 hospital beds prepared in American bases) and others were like 100,000 people including 10,000 Americans in just "the first phase". And it was their own war.
But both sides and those in between have already suffered some 13,000 deaths (more or less), including 4,000 Ukrainian combatants, 5,500 Russian combatants (mostly irregulars), and more than 3,300 civilians (among them 280 in MH17). And some 28-30,000 wounded (wounded are also casualties), including 7-9,000 civilians. That's only serious injuries of course. By January 2019, but not very many more since then.
It's in the meaning of 5 thousand (,000), not 5.

5 thousand (and not deaths).

A plenty of honor all around.
