The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights released this Sunday (6) the verification of the registration of 1,123 civilians killed or wounded in the Ukrainian war, in partial data, as the numbers are “considerably higher, in particular, in the territory controlled by the country’s government.
The State Emergency Services of the former Soviet republic, in turn, indicated that the number of civilians who have died since the beginning of the invasion of Russia is more than 2 thousand. However, there is no independent check of the information.
According to the UN, 364 civilians have died since the Russian attacks on Ukraine began, with 25 of the victims being children. All cases, according to the United Nations, could be documented and confirmed.
The wounded, according to this count, are 759, of which 41 are minors.
The vast majority were affected by casualties from long-range explosive weapons, including heavy artillery fire and multiple rocket launch systems, as well as missiles and aerial bombardments.
The UN believes that the number of dead and wounded is underestimated in the regions controlled by the Ukrainian government, where information is sent very late by the fighters, as well as much information could not be verified.
In Volnovaja, one of the cities in southeastern Ukraine where an attempt to open a humanitarian corridor to evacuate civilians failed yesterday, the UN High Commissioner received information of “hundreds of civilian casualties”, which was not confirmed.
