In Ukraine, since February 2022, the UN has recorded more than 32,100 civilian casualties, including the dead and wounded.
According to Ukrinform, the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets reported this in Telegram, citing data from the analytical report of the Protection Cluster, led by UNHCR, on Ukraine in the context of armed conflict.
The report states that the Russian Federation's invasion of Ukraine was characterized by targeted attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure, forced displacement, sexual violence, and a high risk of psychological harm.
In particular, more than 6.5 million people have fled the country as refugees, and another 3.5 million have become internally displaced. Since February 2022, more than 32.1 thousand civilian casualties have been recorded across Ukraine, including deaths and injuries.
The UN noted that 92% of civilian deaths were caused by the use of explosive weapons with a wide area of impact, and 4% were caused by mines and explosive devices. The use of long-range missiles by the Russian Federation means that almost the entire territory of Ukraine is in danger.
"The direct damage to civilian infrastructure over the past two years as of February 2024 amounted to up to 138 billion euros. Residential buildings have suffered the most," Lubinets cited the report's data.
There have been 1742 confirmed attacks on medical facilities, resulting in 136 deaths and 311 injuries.
There are documented cases of sexual violence committed by the Russian military against people of all genders from 3 to 70 years old.
