Since the beginning of the year, the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine has recorded 12 deaths of civilians in Donbas as a result of the armed conflict, 58 people were injured. This was reported by the head of the mission Fiona Fraser, Radio Liberty reported.

According to Fraser, this is the lowest rate for the entire period of the conflict.

“From mid-April 2014 until June 9, 2019, at least 3 332 civilians were killed and more than 7 000 injured,” said the head of the mission.

We shall remind you that the 25th report of the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, released in March this year, reported that the number of civilian casualties in the war zone in Donbas in 2018 was generally lower than in each of the previous years: a total of 279 civilian casualties, including 55 deaths and 224 injuries.

“This is half of the recorded number of civilian casualties in 2017, and the lowest annual rate in the entire conflict period. More than 300 civilians have been killed and up to 9 000 injured since the beginning of the conflict,” Fiona Fraser said.
