Description

As the Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine nears four years, Security Council speakers today called for de-escalation and condemned Moscow’s supersonic missile strike near the border of a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) country, along with other attacks that have killed civilians and left millions without heating amid the winter freeze. 

Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs briefed the Council. Since the Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, she said the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has verified at least 14,999 civilian deaths, including 763 children, and 40,601 injuries, including 2,486 children, with actual figures likely higher. The OHCHR monitoring mission reported that 2025 was “the deadliest year” for civilians since the invasion.
