Russia is killing peaceful Ukrainians

Russian forces target civilian infrastructure during their shelling of Ukraine. As a result, attacks often result in injuries and fatalities.

According to the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission, in May, the number of civilian casualties in Ukraine due to the war reached its highest level in a year, with 436 people killed.
