In May, at least 183 civilians were killed and 836 injured in Ukraine as a result of Russian attacks, according to a report by the United Nations released on June 12.

The number of civilian deaths in May was the second highest in 2025, following April.

May saw an active phase of long-range strikes, which caused the highest number of civilian casualties across Ukraine. In frontline areas, short-range drones remained the primary cause of harm. The vast majority of civilian casualties (97%) were recorded in Ukrainian-controlled territory.
