Every day, Ukraine loses military and civilians. After all, the enemy does not stop shelling the entire country. During almost 18 months of Russia’s aggressive war against Ukraine, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights recorded the deaths of almost 10,000 civilians. In a new report published a few days ago, there are 9,444 confirmed cases of civilian deaths. 16,940 people were injured.
The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights commented that the count cannot be complete, as information is missing from many regions. This applies primarily to such cities as Mariupol, Lysychansk and Severodonetsk, which were occupied by Russian troops after prolonged shelling and fierce fighting. Experts fear that thousands or tens of thousands more Ukrainians actually died.
According to confirmed UN data, the vast majority of 7,339 people died in those parts of the country that were shelled by Russia and defended by the Ukrainian army. 2,105 people died in the parts of the country occupied by Russian troops.
According to the UN, since the beginning of August, they managed to confirm the death of 48 civilians (including two children) and the wounding of 210 (including 9 children). At the beginning of August, the Prosecutor General’s Office had official information about the death of 10,749 civilians due to the war, and the number of wounded was 15,599.
