Rome, June 10(Adnkronos) - The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights was able to confirm the deaths of 4,302 and the wounding of 5,217 civilians as a result of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine.These are the data from February 24 to June 8 midnight, according to UNHCR.In these figures, 272 children died and 439 were injured.However, the organization points out that the real numbers are much higher, "because information from some places where intense hostilities are taking place is delayed and many reports of civilian casualties have yet to be confirmed. This applies, for example, to the settlements of Mariupol (Donetsk Oblast), Izyum (Kharkiv Oblast) and Popasna (Luhansk Oblast), where, according to reports, many civilians have been killed and injured ".
