Casualty Figures Remain Difficult to Independently Verify

Since the outbreak of the war on February 24, 2022, Russia and Ukraine have issued almost daily reports on the course of the fighting and the affected areas. However, these accounts often come from the two parties to the conflict and, given the ongoing war and the nature of military operations, not all of them have been independently verified.
