UN reports 2025 was deadliest year for Ukrainian civilians since Russia's full-scale invasion

A new United Nations report says 2025 was the deadliest year for civilians in Ukraine since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022. The UN's lead official in Ukraine called for an end to the cycle of attacks.

Separately, a study found that total military casualties in the war are approaching two million. In response to the high casualty rates, Ukraine has reportedly begun using robots to evacuate wounded soldiers from the battlefield.
