If you delete them on your device, that will also delete them from iCloud.

Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support


Photos delete from all of your devices

When you delete photos and videos on one device, they're deleted everywhere that you use iCloud Photos. If you delete something accidentally, you can recovery it in the Recently Deleted folder for 30 days. After that, it's deleted permanently.
