Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and the war there continues to this day.

According to the United Nations (UN) Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), in the past year, the war has killed approximately 8,000 Ukrainian civilians and injured 13,000 more.

However, the OHCHR states that this figure is only "the tip of the iceberg," as the actual number of casualties may be much higher.

"The toll on Ukrainian civilians is unbearable. Amid electricity and water shortages during winter, nearly 18 million people in Ukraine are in dire need of humanitarian assistance. Around 14 million people have been displaced from their homes," the OHCHR said in a press release on Tuesday, February 21, 2023.

"Children's education has been disrupted by military attacks on educational facilities, while parents and people with disabilities face significant challenges. In some cases, they are unable to reach bomb shelters, or have to spend extended periods in basements in conditions affecting their health," it continued.

According to OHCHR data, approximately 90% of civilian casualties were killed or injured by explosive weapons, including artillery shells, cruise and ballistic missiles, and air strikes, mostly occurring in populated areas.

Hundreds more civilians have been killed or injured by mines and remnants of war.

"This senseless war has reverberated across the globe, driving up food and fuel prices and deepening global suffering, particularly for the most vulnerable groups," said the OHCHR.

"This war, a blatant violation of the UN Charter and costing an immense human toll, must end now," it continued.
