The Devastating Civilian Death Toll in Ukraine's War with Russia.

The United Nations reported that nearly 8,500 civilians have been killed and 14,244 injured in Ukraine since Russia's invasion in February 2022, with the actual figures likely to be "considerably higher." The majority of casualties have been confirmed from areas controlled by the Ukrainian government, while investigations are ongoing in areas where fighting persists. The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin for war crimes committed in Ukraine, and the U.N. has repeatedly condemned Russia's invasion and called on Moscow to abandon its war.
