— "Instead of moving closer towards peace, civilians are enduring more destruction, pain and suffering."

— "Between 1 December 2025 and 31 May 2026, my Office verified that at least 1,270 civilians were killed and 6,850 injured in Ukraine. This represents a 40 per cent increase compared to the same period last year. The real toll is likely higher."

— "Since mid-November 2025, my Office has verified that Russian forces have executed at least 20 captured Ukrainian servicemen. During the reporting period, my Office interviewed 129 released Ukrainian prisoners of war. Virtually all of them provided detailed accounts of torture or other ill-treatment during their captivity, including sexual violence."

— "Around half the prisoners of war captured by Ukraine interviewed by my Office described torture or other ill-treatment, predominantly in transit facilities before transfer to official detention facilities. The prohibition of torture is absolute. The use of torture against prisoners of war must end immediately, and those responsible must be held to account."

— "The scale and scope of the Russian Federation's attacks suggest they were intended to disable Ukraine's energy network as a whole, rather than strike specific military objectives. Treating Ukraine's entire energy infrastructure as a military objective is incompatible with international humanitarian law."
