Since February 2022, the United Nations has officially recorded the deaths of more than 12,300 people in Ukraine as a result of russian aggression, as well as more than 27,800 wounded.
This was stated by the UN Under-Secretary-General for Disarmament Affairs Izumi Nakamitsu during a meeting of the UN Security Council on December 20.
According to her, the greatest losses among the civilian population were caused by russia's use of long-range weapons. In November, such attacks caused about 42% of the deaths and injuries - this is significantly more than in previous months.
In addition, Nakamitsu cited data from the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine for 2024. From January 1 to November 30, 341 civilians were killed and 1,803 people were injured as a result of the use of aerial bombs. These figures are three and six times higher than last year's figures.
"For the period from February 24, 2022 to November 30, 2024, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights recorded more than 12,340 civilian deaths and 27,836 injuries in Ukraine," the UN representative emphasized.
