  "account": "In July 2026, Ukraine experienced the highest number of civilian casualties since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, according to the U.N. Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU). The HRMMU reported on August 13 that at least 437 civilians were killed and 2,610 injured in July, marking a 30% increase from June's deadly month. This surge in casualties was primarily due to Russia's increased usage of long-range missiles and drones, which targeted cities away from the front lines, with Kyiv particularly affected.",
