From February 24, 2022, when the armed attack of the Russian Federation on Ukraine began, to January 22, 2023, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR 0 ed.) recorded 18,483 victims among the country's civilian population: 7,068 killed and 11,415 wounded.

This is stated on the website of the organization.

This included:

  • a total of 7,068 killed (2,800 men, 1,895 women, 180 girls and 223 boys, as well as 35 children and 1,935 adults, whose gender is still unknown);

  • a total of 11,415 wounded (2,504 men, 1,779 women, 241 girls and 330 boys, as well as 267 children and 6,294 adults, whose gender is still unknown). 

Most of the reported civilian casualties were caused by the use of long-range explosive weapons, including heavy artillery, rocket launchers, rockets and airstrikes.

The actual death toll is much higher as information from some areas of heavy fighting has been delayed and many reports are still awaiting confirmation.

These are, for example, Mariupol (Donetsk region), Izyum (Kharkiv region), Lysychansk, Popasna and Severodonetsk (Luhansk region), where there are reports of numerous victims among the civilian population.
