The United Nations reported that May saw the highest number of civilian casualties in Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion began in February 2022. Data collected by the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU) indicates a significant increase in both deaths and injuries among civilians. The report, released Saturday, details the escalating impact of the conflict on non-combatants. Specific details regarding the exact number of casualties were not provided in the initial report. This surge raises concerns about the intensifying hostilities and the protection of civilians within Ukraine. The UN continues to monitor and verify reports of human rights violations throughout the country.
