The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has confirmed the deaths of 4,169 Ukrainians killed in the Russian invasion. Another 4,982 people were injured. Among the dead — 268 children
These are data from February 24 to midnight on June 1.
The organization emphasizes that the real numbers are much 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 applies, for example, to Mariupol (Donetsk Oblast), Izium (Kharkiv Oblast) and Popasna (Luhansk Oblast), "where there are allegations of numerous civilian casualties."
The United Nations added that most of the civilian casualties were caused by explosive weapons with a wide range of damage, including heavy artillery and multiple rocket launches, as well as missiles and air strikes.
