United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine

The United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU) is an organization focused on documenting and reporting on human rights violations and civilian casualties related to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. The HRMMU's recent findings are newsworthy due to a reported sharp increase in civilian casualties in 2025, making it the deadliest year for civilians since 2022. This surge is attributed to Russia's increased use of long-range weaponry and intensified hostilities along the front lines. The HRMMU's work is crucial for providing an objective assessment of the war's impact on the civilian population, informing international efforts to address human rights concerns, and potentially contributing to future accountability mechanisms. Their data highlights the devastating human cost of the conflict and underscores the urgent need for protection of civilians.
