In addition, since the war began, at least 7,256 civilian casualties have been reported in the country, including 3,496 killed.The United Nations says the actual numbers are likely much higher.

Since the invasion, the State Emergency Service (SES) of Ukraine has disposed of more than 102,000 explosive devices and more than 1,900 aerial bombs. The Interior Minister announced the launch of the International Coordination Centre for Humanitarian Demining, which SES will work in collaboration with, to reduce casualties from explosive remnants of war.
