War in Ukraine: Can we say how many people have died?

Russia and Ukraine have different claims of how many people have died in the conflict. The BBC explores the data.

A Russian air strike on a building in Lysychansk, Luhansk, killed four hiding there. In nearby Severodonetsk, two more died, after a day of Russian shelling. Another died as Ukrainian forces bombarded the outskirts of Donetsk city. A further four were killed when Russian forces opened fire in Sadivska, in the north-eastern Sumy region.

The southern and eastern areas of Ukraine, along the Russian border where the main ground invasion began, have borne the brunt of the violence. Mariupol, in the south-east, Kharkiv, in the north-east, and Bilohorivka, in the east, have seen some of the heaviest casualties.From Acled's totals, BBC News has identified about 3,600 civilian deaths as of mid-June, while the UN has confirmed about 4,700 during the conflict up to the end of the month.
