The United Nations in Ukraine condemns the severe violations of children's rights caused by Russia's invasion. More than two years since the escalation of the war, heavy hostilities continue to inflict immense physical, psychological, and emotional harm on children, disrupting their lives and jeopardizing their future.

The present report is submitted pursuant to the request in the statement by the President of the Security Council of 21 September 2018 (S/PRST/2018/18). It also responds to the Council’s requests for reporting on specific themes in resolutions 2286 (2016), 2417 (2018), 2474 (2019), 2475 (2019) and 2573 (2021).

The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine documented a continued high level of civilian casualties due to intense hostilities near the frontline in April, while Russian armed forces also launched coordinated large-scale attacks on energy infrastructure, which threatened Ukraine’s power and transportation systems.

The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine verified that at least 604 civilians were killed or injured in Ukraine in March 2024, a 20 per cent increase compared with February 2024.
