How Many Civilians Died In Ukraine As A Result Of The Russian Invasion? This Is The Data Owned By The United Nations
JAKARTA - Russia continues to deny that it targeted civilians in its invasion of Ukraine. But the UN says otherwise. Through OHCHR, the United Nations released the number of deaths due to this war.
Reporting from Al Jazeera, Friday, March 4, the United Nations said there were 331 civilians who died amid the Russian attack. That figure includes the 19 children counted when the Russian invasion began on February 24.
OHCHR, which has monitors in Ukraine, added another 675 injured. And all of these figures are believed to be much lower than the actual facts on the ground.
Most of the victims were killed by explosive weapons such as fire from heavy artillery, multi-launch rocket systems and missile and air strikes, he said.
Regarding the attack on civilians, one of the people who brought up the issue was German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock. He said Putin's troops targeted civilians with brutal violence.
"It is clear to see that this war of aggression by Putin targets the civilian population with the most brutal violence," said Annalena Baerbock.
