The United Nations has reported that July was the deadliest month for civilians in Ukraine since Russia's invasion in February 2022. The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission documented that at least 437 people were killed and 2,610 more injured during the month. This represents a 30% increase from June and a 70% rise when compared to July of the previous year.
The report stated that the number of civilian deaths was the highest since May 2022, and the number of child casualties was the highest since April, with 17 killed and 166 injured. The UN noted that the actual number of victims was likely higher due to ongoing verification of death reports. July experienced particularly heavy casualties in the capital city of Kiev, with 54 people killed and over 200 injured.
Additionally, the UN observers reported that Russian authorities recorded 79 deaths and more than 600 injuries among civilians in their country during the same month.
