WASHINGTON, DC, November 2, 2026 - William Aaron Turner, founder and president of Infinitum Corporation, has published "Russian Civilian Casualties and Ukrainian Strikes: Sources," an entry in his research series The Ukraine Files. It compiles published reporting on civilian casualties inside Russia since 2022 and keeps what news outlets reported separate from the author's own conclusions.

What the compilation covers

- An overall BBC (2026) figure for civilian deaths inside Russia since February 2022.
- AP reporting on strikes on logistics warehouses belonging to the online retailer Wildberries in mid-2026.
- BBC reporting on an August 3, 2026 incident at a Black Sea beach, for which Ukraine did not claim responsibility.
- An August 10, 2026 strike on the TANECO refinery in Nizhnekamsk, which Ukraine's military confirmed.
- BBC figures for civilian casualties in the Belgorod border region in July 2026.

Both positions recorded

The compilation quotes Ukrainian officials' statements, as reported by the BBC, that Ukraine does not deliberately target civilians, that the warehouses supplied the Russian military, and that some deaths result from air-defense interceptions. It also records Moscow's position. The author's argument on how broadly "dual-use" targeting should be defined is labeled as his own view and not as a finding of any court or UN body. Each figure is tied to a named outlet so readers can check it.

"All the data comes from the public record and is attributed. The conclusions are mine, and I've kept them separate." said William Aaron Turner, Founder & President, Infinitum Corporation.
