United Nations: Ukraine War: Rising Threat of 'nuclear incident' - August 29, 2024

Remarks by Mr. Miroslav Jenča, Assistant Secretary-General for Europe, Central Asia and the Americas of the Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs - Department of Peace Operations, on the Maintenance of international peace and security - Security Council, 9714th meeting.
Miroslav Jenča, Assistant Secretary-General at the UN Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, said that last month was particularly deadly for Ukrainian civilians, with at least 219 killed and more than 1,000 injured.
Since 24 February 2022 – the date of Russia’s full-scale invasion, the UN human rights office, OHCHR, has documented 11,662 civilian killings and 24,207 injuries. The actual figure could be higher.
“Tragically, these figures only grow, as missiles, shells and drones continue to hit cities, towns and villages across Ukraine daily,” Mr. Jenča said.
