Losses among civilians since February 24 amounted to 6731 persons, including 3280 dead.

This is reported by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

But the actual numbers are much higher as information is delayed from some areas of heavy fighting and many reports are still awaiting confirmation.

This applies, for example, to Mariupol, Izyum and Popasna, where there are reports of numerous civilian casualties.

The majority of civilian deaths or injuries were caused by the use of explosive devices with a wide area of effect, including shelling from heavy artillery and multiple launch rocket systems, as well as rocket and air strikes.

According to the UN, 1,183 men, 749 women, 86 boys and 72 girls died, while the sex of 73 children and 1,117 adults has not yet been determined.

Among the 3,451 wounded were 85 boys and 74 girls, as well as 169 children whose gender has not yet been determined.

Recall that the UN Security Council is now discussing the problems of protecting the civilian population and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine and in the context of Russian aggression in the framework of the recently adopted agenda of the Republic of Belarus for 2022 “Maintaining Peace and Security of Ukraine”.
