Ukraine civilian casualty tracker
Verified civilian casualties in Ukraine
Civilian deaths and injuries verified by the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion began on 24 February 2022.
About the conflict
The current large-scale war began on 24 February 2022, when Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It expanded a conflict that had begun in 2014 with Russia’s annexation of Crimea and fighting in eastern Ukraine.
Ukraine is defending its territory with military, financial and humanitarian support from numerous countries. Russia describes the war using political and security justifications that Ukraine and most United Nations member states reject.
The war has caused civilian and military deaths, injuries, displacement and widespread destruction. This page does not assess political or legal responsibility. Its purpose is to present available civilian casualty figures with clear sources, dates and limitations.
Latest complete reporting month: 2026-08. More recent incidents may have been reported but are not included until verified by OHCHR.

Latest complete reporting month
Verified casualties documented during 2026-08.
What these figures mean
OHCHR verifies individual civilian casualties using interviews, witness accounts, open-source material, forensic records, official information and other documented evidence.
Verification can take time. An increase in a later report may therefore include deaths or injuries that occurred during an earlier period.
The actual number of civilian casualties is likely considerably higher. Many reports cannot yet be verified, particularly in occupied territory and places that experienced intensive fighting.
What is not included
- The figures do not include military deaths.
- They do not represent every casualty reported by Ukrainian or Russian authorities.
- More recent incidents are excluded until they have been verified and included in an OHCHR report.
- Civilian casualties in areas where investigators lack access are likely substantially undercounted.
