🧵1/ CIT records the highest number of civilians casualties since january 2024 for two months in a Row. Attacks and shelling on both sides of the frontline in June 2025 killed at least 282 civilians and wounded a minimum of 1,972 
2/ The situation worsened in July, when 335 people lost their lives, almost 19% more than in June. 2,228 civilians were injured, marking a 13% increase
3/ While an increase in civilian casualties was also observed during last year's summer, the escalation in 2025 is much more severe. The number of fatalities over the two summer months increased by 25% and injuries rose by nearly 30% compared to the same period last year
4/ Indiscriminate force harms several times more civilians in Ukrainian-controlled territory. During June and July this year, four out of every five casualties occurred in these areas
5/ Attacks using small UAVs continue to pose a serious threat to the civilian population. While the situation in Kherson is dire, a significant number of casualties from these attacks have also been reported in Russia’s border regions, particularly in the Belgorod region
6/ The overall rise in casualties results mainly from Russia’s intensified airstrikes on Ukrainian cities. The peak occurred in June, when 160 people were killed and 1,338 were injured by missiles & UAVs. In July, 150 civilians were killed and 1,180 injured in unoccupied Ukraine
7/ The only way to meaningfully reduce civilian casualties in Ukraine is through the delivery of additional air defense systems and the development of effective, low-cost countermeasures against Shahed-type loitering munitions
