SOS for Ukraine.

The war in Ukraine is still going on despite the efforts of various countries to negotiate it. It is claiming many victims, both children and adults, the whole country is destroyed, there are fatalities, the infrastructure is destroyed, rockets destroy civilian objects .In the two years since Russia's aggression, at least 10 582 civilians have died in Ukraine, including a minimum of 587 children. 19,875 people have been injured, including 1,298 children. Civilians suffered the highest damage in the first months of the war (as of March 2022, 4,289 people had been killed and a further 3013 wounded), with Bucza and Irpin becoming symbols of the Russian military's cruelty towards civilians. In the following months, the severity of the war for the Ukrainian population was less severe, but still significant. In 2023, an average of 163 civilians were killed and 547 wounded per month. In 2024 (to 15.02.2024), 241 civilians were killed.

The vast majority of civilians were victims of rocket attacks (8898 killed), but also direct gunfire (1341 killed) and mine explosions (343 killed). The vast majority of civilians killed (7668) were in areas controlled by Ukraine and shelled by Russia. The largest number of people were killed in the Donetsk district (43,960). However, a very large number of civilians were also killed away from the front line, e.g. 206 in Kharkiv district, 193 in Kyiv, 141 in Dnipropetrovsk, 89 in Kyiv, 39 in Vinnytsia, 36 in Zhytomyr and 24 in Lviv.

As a result of Russian rocket fire, civilian infrastructure and buildings were destroyed: schools (1,072 in number, 236 of them completely), hospitals and medical facilities (465, 59 of them completely), power plants (especially in the attack on the entire territory of Ukraine on 10.10.2022) and residential buildings. In Kherson district, about 30% of the population lives in damaged and destroyed buildings. Russia also bombed buildings and equipment used for grain storage and transport (silos, ports, transport vehicles). It has also attacked Ukrainian nuclear power plants and destroyed critical infrastructure, including a dam on the Kakhov Reservoir. The dam's demolition triggered flooding that affected nearly 1 million people. It destroyed more than 37,000 residential homes, 37 schools, 11 medical facilities and 11,000 ha of forest.

The aftermath of the Russian aggression against Ukraine has displaced around 10 million people: 3.67 million are internally displaced and 5.97 million are refugees. Nearly 17.5 million people require assistance for biological survival (as of 13.02.2024) and 10 million, including 1.5 million children, need psychological and psychiatric assistance.
