A top United Nations official disclosed devastating casualty figures from Ukraine’s ongoing war during a press conference in Berlin on Friday.
Sofia Calltorp, who leads UN Women’s operations in Geneva, revealed that the death toll among Ukrainian women and girls has surpassed 5,000 since Russia launched its comprehensive military assault in February 2022. The conflict has also left approximately 14,000 women and girls wounded, according to her statement to journalists.
The sobering statistics highlight the severe human cost of the war that has now stretched across two years, with women and children bearing a significant portion of the casualties from the sustained military campaign.
