According to the United Nations (UN), at least 1,892 civilians were killed since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops. 2,558 people were injured.
This is reported by the American TV channel CNN, citing a UN statement.
It is noted that among the killed Ukrainians 478 men, 308 women, 30 girls and 52 boys. In addition, the gender of another 953 adults and 71 children has not been determined.
