“From 24 February 2022, when the Russian Federation’s armed attack against Ukraine started, to 26 December 2022, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) recorded 17,831 civilian casualties in the country: 6,884 killed and 10,947 injured,” explained the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
Among the 6,884 killed:
- 2,719 men;
- 1,832 women;
- 175 girls;
- 216 boys;
- 38 children and 1,904 adults whose gender is currently unknown.
A total of 10,947 injured includes:
- 2,364 men;
- 1,709 women;
- 229 girls;
- 318 boys;
- 253 children and 6,074 adults whose gender is currently unknown.
“OHCHR believes that the actual figures are considerably higher, as the receipt of information from some locations where intense hostilities have been going on has been delayed and many reports are still pending corroboration. This concerns, for example, Mariupol (Donetsk region), Izium (Kharkiv region), Lysychansk, Popasna, and Sievierodonetsk (Luhansk region), where there are allegations of numerous civilian casualties,” clarified the UN.
