The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) verified a total of 39,081 civilian casualties during Russia's invasion of Ukraine as of October 31, 2024. Of them, 26,919 people were reported to have been injured. However, OHCHR specified that the real numbers could be higher.

How many people have died during the war in Ukraine?

OHCHR has estimated the number of deaths of civilians, or non-armed individuals, in Ukraine at 12,162 since the start of the war on February 24, 2022. The highest death toll was recorded in March 2022, at over 3,900. The figures on soldier deaths are reported by Russia and Ukraine’s governmental authorities, but they cannot be verified at this point and thus need to be taken with caution.

Conflict-related deaths in Ukraine from 2014 to 2021

After Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, Ukraine has seen a military conflict between the government and the Russia-supported separatist regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. OHCHR estimates that between 14,200 and 14,400 people, including civilians and military personnel, were killed in relation to that conflict from April 14, 2014, to December 31, 2021. Of them, at least 3,400 were civilians.
