From 1 June to 30 November 2025, OHCHR recorded a significant escalation in hostilities across Ukraine, resulting in increased civilian harm. Civilian casualties surged in both frontline and urban areas, with July 2025 marking the highest monthly toll since April 2022.

Civilian casualties in October 2025 remained high, with at least 148 killed and 929 injured, similar to the numbers in September and August.

In September 2025, at least 214 civilians were killed and 916 injured, similar to August 2025.

Large-scale deprivation of liberty, affecting both of civilians and military personnel, remains a stark reality in the ongoing armed attack of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. Building on previous OHCHR findings, this report describes the treatment of civilians deprived of their liberty for reasons related to the armed conflict since 2022.

In August 2025, at least 208 civilians were killed and 827 injured, a 41 per cent decrease from July 2025 (307 killed; 1,461 injured), mainly attributed to a reduction in long-range attacks targeting urban areas during the first weeks of August.
