According to the UN, more than 14 thousand civilians suffered as a result of the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, among them 5,767 dead.. This was announced by the head of the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine Matilda Bogner.

“We have verified and confirmed 14,059 civilian casualties. Fighting killed 5,767 civilians and injured 8,292. We have repeatedly noted that the actual numbers are likely to be much higher..

Since February 24, the UN Mission has confirmed that at least 416 people have been victims of arbitrary detention and enforced disappearance in territories occupied by Russian troops or in territories controlled at the time by the occupiers and associated armed groups. Of these, 16 people were found dead, 166 were released..

The UN also reports on fixing a number of violations against prisoners of war.

The UN said that the Mission received unhindered access to places of internment and detention in the territory controlled by the government of Ukraine. However, Russia did not provide access to places of detention of prisoners of war..

“This is even more worrying, since we have recorded that prisoners of war who were held captive by the Russian Federation and held in custody by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation or associated armed groups were subjected to torture and ill-treatment,” the report says..

In particular, the UN received information about the terrible situation regarding the state of health of Ukrainian prisoners of war in a colony near Olenivka.. Many suffer from infectious diseases (in particular hepatitis A and tuberculosis).

The UN mission recorded a number of cases when Ukrainian prisoners of war were not allowed to report their whereabouts and state of health. Therefore, the families of the captured military are desperately looking for information, since they have been deprived of the right to know what happened to their loved ones..
