#Civilian casualties

Kyiv and several regions across Ukraine were hit overnight and into the morning of December 23 by a large-scale Russian drone and missile attack that struck residential areas, energy infrastructure, and civilian targets, leaving multiple people dead and wounded, including children.

Nearly four years into Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the situation for civilians is growing increasingly dire, even as high-profile peace negotiations dominate international attention, the United Nations’ top human rights official warned during a session of the UN Human Rights Council.
