The Russian forces launched an attack overnight focused on kyiv, deployment of 397 drones of attack and lure without pilot, as well as 18 high power missiles, killing two and wounding at least 16 years, according to to the United Nations Human Rights Surveillance Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU).
UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric, noted during his daily briefing in New York that four kyiv districts had been affected, damaging residential buildings, a clinic and a television channel, while a ambulatory clinic was destroyed during the bombardment.
Dujarric also relayed reports from local authorities from recent attacks in other regions that have left more than nine dead and at least ten injured civilians.
June record
These attacks occur after June, the highest number of monthly civilian victims in Ukraine since the start of Russian invasion began in February 2022, with 232 people killed and 1,343 injured.
These data reflect a worsening of the trend: 6,754 civilians were killed or injured in the first half of 2025 – a sharp increase of 54% compared to the same period in 2024When 4,381 civilian victims were documented.
This decreases to a 17% increase in civilian deaths and a 64% increase in injuries.
The use increased by Russia of missiles and long -range drones in urban areas – and their improved destructive power – were key engines behind the tip of the victims.
The growing number of attacks also played a crucial role, because Russia launched ten times more missiles and drones unmanned in June 2025 than in June 2024.
“” Civilians across Ukraine are faced with levels of suffering that we have not seen for more than three years“Said Danielle Bell, head of HRMMU.” The push of long -range missiles and drone strikes across the country brought even more death and destruction to civilians far from the front line. »»
The suffering child intensifies
Also on Thursday, the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef)) reported Than about 70% of children in Ukraine (3.5 million) experienced “material deprivation” – against 18% in 2021.
Material deprivation refers to a lack of essential goods and services, including nutritious foods, appropriate clothes, home heating and access to education.
According to the UNICEF report, One in three children in Ukraine lives in a house without water supply or functional sewer systemAnd almost half lack access to a space to play.
This deprivation is motivated by continuous attacks against infrastructure – including water, sanitation and energy systems – as well as on houses, schools and health establishments, as well as the increase in poverty across the country.
Looking at recovery
These warnings arise as the fourth Ukraine Recovery conference opened in Rome on Thursday. It aims to strengthen awareness and maintain momentum for international support and investment in the recovery, reconstruction, reform and modernization of Ukraine.
The director general of the United Nations Migration Agency (Iom), Amy Pope, is one of the participants. The agency plays a major role in Ukraine, where nearly four million people are in internal, and five other refugees reside across Europe.
“The displacement on this scale requires many challenges to Ukraine and its inhabitants”, it said.
“Restoring must start with a concentration on people in need – connecting them to the services and restoration of their livelihoods, so it becomes more than going home, but to regain their place in society.”
