In February 2026, at least 188 civilians were killed in Ukraine, and 757 were injured. The number of casualties increased by 31% compared to February 2025 and by 83% compared to February 2024.
This is stated in the new monthly report of the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine.
“Conflict-related violence in February 2026 killed at least 188 people and injured 757. Total casualties were similar to January 2026, but 31 per cent higher than in February 2025 (130 killed; 592 injured) and 83 per cent higher than in February 2024 (156 killed; 360 injured),” the Mission reported.
The vast majority of civilian casualties (97 percent) occurred in areas controlled by the Ukrainian government. Civilians were killed or injured in 15 regions of Ukraine and in Kyiv city.
More than a third of the casualties were caused by long-range missiles and drones, mostly far from the front line. In February, airstrikes caused 47% more casualties than in January.
Russian strikes on energy infrastructure, including six combined large-scale coordinated attacks, led to disruptions in electricity, heating, and water supply across the country.
