Civilian casualties

OHCHR / HRMMU verified minimum figures for civilians killed and injured since 24 February 2022, with children broken out separately.

These are a verified minimum under the “reasonable grounds to believe” standard. The true toll is considerably higher: many cases (including Mariupol and other intense combat zones) remain unverified due to lack of access. Data is stored in the server database.
