The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has documented the deaths of 780 civilians in Ukraine since Russian troops invaded.
Among them were 58 children and young people, as the office announced on Thursday in Geneva. The day before there were a total of 726 dead. The office also had verified information about 1,252 injured people. The day before there were 1,174. Putin began his attack on Ukraine on February 24.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, always emphasizes that the actual numbers are certainly much higher. Employees often need days to check the number of victims. The High Commissioner only reports death and injury figures that it has independently verified itself.

“Most of the civilian casualties were caused by the use of long-range explosive weapons, including heavy artillery and rocket launcher fire, as well as missile and airstrikes,” Bachelet’s office said.
