Among them were 37 minors, as reported by the Geneva office. The office also had verified information about 908 injured people, including 50 minors.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, always emphasizes that the actual numbers are certainly much higher. Employees often needed 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.
The office also provided a regional breakdown: 87 people died in government-controlled zones in the separatist regions of Donetsk and Luhansk in the east of the country, 24 in the territory of the self-proclaimed republics recognized by Russia. 405 deaths were registered in other parts of the country, including Kyiv, Kharkiv and Kherson.
