Since the beginning of the Russian special operation in Ukraine, 3,153 civilians have died, according to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. 

Of this number, 1,115 are men, 722 are women, and over 200 are children. The gender of another 1090 adults has not been determined. 3,316 people were injured, including 324 women and over 300 children.

At the same time, the Office of the High Commissioner believes that the real figures are significantly higher, since the transfer of information from places where active hostilities were fought is difficult. This, for example, applies to Mariupol, Izyum in the Kharkiv region and Popasna in the LPR.

“Most of the known civilian casualties occurred as a result of the use of explosive weapons with a large area of ​​destruction, including shelling from heavy artillery and multiple launch rocket systems, rocket and air strikes,” the report says.

The Ministry of Defense accused the Armed Forces of Ukraine of a new staged shooting with "civilians" Politics

The Russian Ministry of Defense has repeatedly stated that the Russian military strikes exclusively at military targets. At the end of March, a representative of the department, Major General Igor Konashenkov, stated that "the unconditional priority of the Armed Forces during the operation is to exclude unnecessary victims among the civilian population." According to him, special attention is paid to "the preservation of civilian infrastructure and civilians in Ukraine."

A week ago, UN Secretary General António Guterres proposed the creation of a joint humanitarian contact group with Moscow and Kyiv. Among other things, it should deal with the organization of safe humanitarian corridors.

The day before, Kyiv asked Guterres to become the guarantor of the evacuation of civilians from Azovstal in Mariupol. On May 1, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced that about a hundred civilians had been taken out of the territory of the plant. In two days, 126 people left the territory of the Azovstal plant, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on May 2.
