The UN also notes that 21,941 casualties were from the territory controlled by Kyiv, while 5,208 casualties were recorded in the temporarily occupied territories.

According to the report, more than 1,700 children fell victim to the Russian invasion, of whom 554 died.

The UN number is considered a minimum, as the organization requires corroborating evidence to include a casualty, which is not always available in an active warzone.
