Figures verified by the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU), published monthly. They are minimum figures: the actual tolls are considerably higher. They are an independent reference and are not the sum of the crimes shown on the map. The series available month by month starts in October 2023; for October 2023 to March 2024 only the combined killed-and-injured total was published, and April 2024 is not broken down.
