U.N. Reports Over 10,000 Civilian Deaths in Ukraine Since Russian Invasion

Half of recent fatalities occurred far from front lines due to Russia's use of long-range missiles, while international aid continues to flow into Ukraine.

More than 10,000 civilians have been killed in Ukraine since Russia's invasion in early 2022, according to the United Nations.
About half of the recent deaths have occurred far from the front lines, attributed to Russia's use of long-range missiles and the explosion of abandoned ordinances.
During the three-month period between August and October, 86% of verified civilian deaths occurred in territory controlled by Ukraine, mostly caused by explosives with wide area effect.
Germany has announced a new $1.4 billion aid package for Ukraine, which includes 155 mm ammunition, four IRIS-T missile systems, and anti-tank mines, but not the long-range Taurus missiles that Ukraine has requested.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin reasserted American support for Ukraine during a visit to Kyiv, where he unveiled a new military aid package worth $100m, which includes anti-tank weapons, air-defence interceptors and an additional High Mobility Artillery Rocket System.
