In a report covering December 2025 to May 2026, the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission recorded 1,272 civilians killed and 6,871 injured, 40% more than a year earlier, with long-range missiles and drones the leading cause. It counted at least 423 Russian attacks on electricity facilities and 74 on heating infrastructure between October 2025 and March 2026, and said generation could not be fully restored by next winter. It verified 129 executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war since 2022, including at least 16 between mid-November 2025 and January 2026, and found that most repatriated Ukrainian POWs and over half of Russian POWs interviewed reported torture or ill-treatment.
