UN, on the war in Ukraine: The end of the fighting and suffering is not in sight
The United Nations Organization (UN) said that more than 18,000 civilians have died since the beginning of the Russian invasion in Ukraine, and a senior official from New York stated that the war will be lasting, writes the UNIAN press agency.
According to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNCHR), since the beginning of the war, 6,952 civilians have died and 11,144 others have been injured. This was announced by UN Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo in New York at a meeting of the UN Security Council, which is looking into the situation in Ukraine caused by Putin's war. The secretary pointed out that the real numbers are probably much higher, and the war in Ukraine is already a year old, but there is no end in sight to the fighting and suffering.
At the same time, UNHCR has documented more than 90 cases of sexual violence related to the Russian invasion as a method of torture in places of detention and rape, including gang rape, in Russian-occupied areas.
