The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said Friday it has confirmed the deaths of 4,031 civilians, including 261 children, in Ukraine since the Russian invasion began on February 24, but the real figure is probably much higher, according to an OHCHR report.

"From 4 a.m. on February 24, 2022, when the Russian Federation's armed attack on Ukraine began, until 24 a.m. on May 26, 2022 (local time), the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) recorded 8,766 civilian casualties in the country: 4,031 killed and 4,735 wounded," the report said.

As the OHCHR pointed out, these figures include:

A total of 4,031 people killed (1,529 men, 995 women, 92 girls and 100 boys, as well as 69 children and 1,246 adults whose gender is not yet known);

A total of 4,735 people (957 men, 629 women, 110 girls and 132 boys, as well as 164 children and 2,743 adults, the gender of which is not yet known) were wounded.

Thus, in Donetsk and Luhansk regions, the UN recorded data on 2,274 killed and 2,673 wounded. In other regions of Ukraine (in Kyiv, as well as Cherkasy, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Kherson, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Sumy, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava, Rivne, Vinnitsa and Zhytomyr regions), 1,757 people were killed and 2,062 wounded.
