Ukraine and Russia's civilians pay a higher and higher price in the war
The bombings with long-range projectiles in the face of the stagnation of the front are raising the number of fatalities among the populations of both sides and are now approaching the total for last year.
The war unleashed on Europe's eastern border following the large-scale Russian invasion over four years ago is causing an increasing number of civilian deaths and injuries. The year 2025 was the deadliest for the civilian population since the first year of the conflict, when many civilians lost their lives in the first months. In 2026, this trend continues.
Both sides deny that civilians are the target of their attacks, but casualty numbers show that these citizens who are not actively taking part in the hostilities are increasingly caught up in the violence.
