Ukraine’s civilian toll jumps 26% in 2025 as strikes escalate, AOAV finds
AOAV says Ukrainian civilian casualties from explosive violence rose 26% in 2025 to 2,248 killed and 12,493 injured, averaging 4.8 casualties per strike, with the worst attack in Dnipro on June 24 that killed 21 and wounded 314. The report notes near-nightly missile and drone attacks and argues that respect for proportionality in war is eroding amid broader global conflicts.
