The United Nations estimates that about 13,000 civilians have been killed since the start of the war in Ukraine, said UN emergency relief coordinator Tom Fletcher. According to him, the true toll is likely to be far greater.

According to data from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), at least 12,910 civilian deaths in Ukraine - including 682 children - have been confirmed, and nearly 30,700 were injured between February 24, 2022 and March 31, 2025.

At the same time, almost 3.7 million people had to change their birthplaces due to hostilities, and move to other areas, considered relatively calmer in Ukraine. Globally, the number of Ukrainian refugees is about 7 million. Most of them settled in Europe, the UN report indicates.

Meanwhile, women in Ukraine have been facing a specific crisis since February 2022, when the war began. Half of pregnant women give birth prematurely, which carries increased risks for both them and their babies.
