Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claims that Moscow’s actions are, in fact, aimed at minimising the number of civilian casualties.
He said that the recent barrage of Russian missile attacks was intended to knock out energy facilities that allow you to keep pumping deadly weapons into Ukraine in order to kill the Russians”.
Basically Russia does not like Ukraine being able to defend itself from the invading Russians.
Only Russia should be able to pump deadly weapons into Ukraine in order to kill the Ukrainian people.
Total civilian casualties from 24 February to 6 November 2022
From 24 February to 6 November 2022, OHCHR recorded 16,462 civilian casualties in Ukraine: 6,490 killed and 9,972 injured.

OHCHR believes that the actual figures are considerably higher, as the receipt of information from some locations where intense hostilities have been going on has been delayed and many reports are still pending corroboration.
