UN: Deadliest month for civilians in Ukraine in 4 years. At least 293 civilians were killed in Ukraine in June this year, according to a UN report. That's the highest number since April 2022. For the first half of this year, the UN counts 1,396 confirmed civilian deaths – more than double the number in 2024.
Ukraine says it is eliminating over 1,000 Russian soldiers every day, meaning they are killed or injured so badly that they won’t be able to return to active duty. See the article on SVT Nyheter and the report on SVT Rapport.
