The U.N. has confirmed more than 3,000 civilian casualties since the start of the Russa-Ukraine war with numbers expected to go up.
The UN has confirmed more than 3,000 civilian casualties since the start of the Russia-Ukraine war with numbers expected to go up.on Monday confirmed over 3,500 people killed or wounded since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24.
That number is likely just the tip of the iceberg as the group has been unable to gain access to areas of heavy fighting. The U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights officially confirmed that 1,430 civilians had been killed and 2,097 injured since the Russian invasion began, with 121 children among the dead. The office said explosive weapons – heavy artillery, missile and airstrikes – caused most deaths.
People who fled the war in Ukraine rest inside an indoor sports stadium being used as a refugee center in the village of Medyka, a border crossing between Poland and Ukraine, on March 15. The OHCHR has cautioned that this likely was only the beginning. Intense hostilities in areas across the country, especially in the Eastern regions of Donestsk and Luhansk, have prevented independent confirmation. Corroboration is being sought in Mariupol, Izium, Popsana and Irpin.
