UN Agency Says Russian Strikes Killed at Least 265 Civilians in Ukraine in June
The UN said June’s toll was the highest since early 2022, with 265 civilians killed and 1,816 injured in Ukraine.
- On Thursday in WASHINGTON, political affairs chief Rosemary DiCarlo told the Security Council that Russian strikes killed at least 265 civilians in Ukraine during June, the highest combined casualty count since Moscow's full-scale invasion began in February 2022.
- Data from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights pointed to an even higher toll in June than May, when casualties had previously peaked since April 2022, reflecting an escalating pattern of civilian harm.
- DiCarlo reported that at least 16,402 civilians, including 802 children, have died in Ukraine since the war began, with 48,428 injured; actual figures are likely higher, she noted.
- Russian authorities reported 250 civilian deaths and 1,596 injuries within Russia during the first six months of 2026, though the OHCHR stated it was not in a position to verify these figures provided by Moscow.
- DiCarlo warned "this concerning trend is seemingly continuing into July," citing three massive waves of Russian aerial strikes on Kyiv this past week, and declared attacks on civilian infrastructure "a clear violation of international humanitarian law.
