Summary
"After the sharp increase in May, the number of civilian casualties continued to increase, reaching the highest total number of civilians killed and injured since April 2022," said the United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU) in a statement, stating that "at least 293 civilians were killed and 1,990 injured in Ukraine" for this month of June. June 2026 was the most deadly month for civilians in Ukraine since April 2022, after more than four years of Russian invasion, according to a report released by the UN on Tuesday 14 July. In recent months, Russia has intensified its strikes, particularly with ballistic missiles that Ukraine's defences are struggling to intercept because of the lack of adequate anti-aircraft ammunition.
Furthermore, The report also reported a record level of explosive drone attacks along the front line since the invasion began on 24 February 2022, with 89 civilians killed and 588 injured. 45% of the casualties are linked to long-range missiles and drones, with strikes mainly affecting cities far from the front, notably Kiev. This development reflects "the increasing use of powerful weapons that are particularly lethal when used in densely populated urban areas," said Danielle Bell, HRMMU representative.
In addition, In this context, nine European countries launched on Monday a "purely defensive" coalition aimed at strengthening the "anti-ballistic capabilities" on the continent, which Kiev desperately lacks. The systematic use of these drones by the two belligerents has helped to transform the contact line into a "dead zone" spanning several tens of kilometres. Almost half were killed by long-range missiles and drones, according to a report released this Tuesday by the UN.
