  • The actual number of casualties in the Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Sumy regions was likely to be significantly higher, according to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in a study covering the period from the start of the invasion on February 24 to early April, when Russian forces withdrew from the territories.

  • Because of "the prevalence of allegations of killings of civilians in these three regions" and OHCHR's capacity to verify and document deaths there after Russian forces withdrew, the scope of the new study was limited to the Russian-controlled areas during the initial days of conflict.

  • It thoroughly investigated 100 of the killings.
