UN human rights office says at least 406 civilians killed in Ukraine since start of Russian invasion

The U.N. human rights office says it has been able to confirm the deaths of 406 civilians in Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian invasion.

The U.N. says it believes the real figures are considerably higher, “especially in government-controlled territory and especially in recent days.”Ukrainian officials have presented far higher numbers. The latest figures come as Russia continues to attack Ukraine, despite promising to brief ceasefires that would allow civilians to exit the country.
