The United Nations estimates that approximately 13,000 civilians have been killed since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, declared UN coordinator for emergency humanitarian assistance, Tom Fletcher, on Tuesday, in front of the Security Council, reports dpa and Agerpres.<\/p>\n
According to data provided by the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), at least 12,910 civilian deaths have been confirmed in Ukraine – including 682 children – and nearly 30,700 people have been injured between February 24, 2022 and March 31, 2025. Fletcher added that the actual number of victims is most likely much higher. Just between the end of February and the end of March, over 170 civilians were reported killed, he said. Russian attacks continue to claim civilian victims. Last Friday, an airstrike on a residential area in the southeastern city of Krivoi Rog killed 20 people – including nine children.<\/p>\n
Fletcher emphasized that international law is being eroded both in Ukraine and in other conflicts around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
