“From 4 am on February 24, 2022, when the military attack of the Russian Federation on Ukraine began, until midnight on March 8, 2022, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) registered 1,424 civilian casualties in the country: 516 killed and 908 injured.

Victims of Russian aggression against Ukraine include:.

516 killed (98 men, 60 women, 9 boys and 5 girls, as well as 23 children and 321 adults, whose gender is still unknown);

908 wounded (78 men, 57 women, 12 girls and 4 boys, as well as 34 children and 723 adults, whose gender is still unknown).

Regarding the geography of the victims:.

Donetsk and Luhansk regions: 573 injured (111 killed and 462 wounded);

government-controlled territory: 436 casualties (87 killed and 349 injured);

territory controlled by the self-proclaimed \;

other regions of Ukraine (Kyiv, Cherkasy, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Kherson, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Sumy, Zaporozhye and Zhytomyr regions) that were under government control when civilians were affected: 851 casualties (405 killed and 446 injured).

Most of the reported deaths and injuries were caused by long-range explosive weapons, heavy artillery, multiple rocket launchers, rocket strikes and airstrikes..

The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights notes that these figures could be significantly higher, especially in government-controlled territory, and especially in recent days, as information often arrives late from areas where intense fighting continues, and many messages require.

This applies to cities such as Volnovakha, Mariupol, Izyum, where hundreds of civilians could have suffered..

These data require further confirmation and are not included in the above statistics..
