The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) said the organization had received reports of 25 deaths and 102 injuries in Ukraine as a result of "shelling and air strikes." It is reported by TASS.

According to OHCHR Spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani, the relevant information was received from the department's staff who are monitoring the situation. She noted that the casualty figures were "difficult to verify" and that the actual number of victims, according to UNHCR, "might be much higher".

Earlier, the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov was unable to provide information on the number of victims among civilians in Ukraine and advised to contact the military on this issue.

On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he had decided to conduct a military special operation to protect Donbass in response to a request for help from the heads of the LPR and DPR.

Ukraine severed diplomatic relations with Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has submitted a bill on general mobilization to the Verkhovna Rada.
