Reported civilian deaths from Russian Military strikes in Ukraine

Due to large variations in the quality of reporting, Airwars provisionally grades allegations of civilian harm using a standardised methodology across all belligerents and conflicts. The five categories are explained in full on our Methodology page. Individual events are recorded in the Civilian Casualties pages.

Chart legend:

Confirmed
A specific belligerent has accepted responsibility for civilian harm.
Fair
Reported by two or more credible sources, with likely or confirmed near actions by a belligerent.
Weak
Single source claim, though sometimes featuring significant information.
Contested
Competing claims of responsibility e.g. multiple belligerents, or casualties also attributed to ground forces.
Discounted
Those killed were combatants, or other parties most likely responsible.
