The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said the figure eclipses the entire number of civilian victims from war in eastern Ukraine between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian forces in 2014, which left 136 dead and 577 injured.
However, officials acknowledge that the death toll is an incorrect number, because according to them it is only of confirmed victims, which means there may be others who have not been confirmed edne. The Ukrainian State Emergency Service has submitted far higher figures, saying that yesterday more than 2,000 civilians were killed in the conflict.
Meanwhile, Russia for the first time during yesterday's day has said 498 is the number of Russian victims in Ukraine -- on the other hand, Kiev says the number of Russians killed is 9,000./ Sky News/Periscope
