Ukrainian authorities reported 10,749 civilians killed in the war

According to the Ukrainian authorities, since the beginning of the full-scale war, 10,749 civilians have died on the territory of the country, of which 499 are children. 15,599 civilians were injured.

Yury Belousov, the head of the Department of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine for combating crimes committed during the war, gave such figures in an interview with the Interfax-Ukraine agency. He emphasized that we are talking only about confirmed cases of death and injury.

In early July, the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission published data on casualties among the civilian population of Ukraine: 9,177 dead, 535 of them children, and 15,993 wounded. It was noted that about 90% of the victims were the result of rocket attacks and bombings. At the same time, the UN has traditionally emphasized that the real number of dead and wounded may be much higher – in particular, because it is difficult to collect information on the territories occupied by Russia.
