The Russian troops continue to shell the towns of the Kherson, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions, according to the latest report by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW). Their data suggests that the Ukrainian counter attacks in the South forced the Russian troops to mostly be on the defence on 14 June.
At least 4,432 civilians died and 5,499 were injured since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, according to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). The real number of victims and injured could be significantly higher, seeing as the information from places of heavy fighting is being received with delay, added the organisation.
