UN: We are deeply concerned about the plight of civilians in Ukraine



“We continue to urge all parties involved to facilitate the transfer of aid and the safe evacuation of civilians from the conflict zones in line with Martin Griffiths (UN Under-Secretary-General) talks with Russian and Ukrainian officials,” UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters Monday. کردن.

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights reports that 4,335 civilian casualties have been reported across Ukraine since February 24, including at least 1,842 deaths.

The UN spokesman added, however, that the actual number of civilian casualties is likely to be much higher, as these figures do not include those killed in areas with intense and ongoing conflict.

On February 21, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics in the Donbas region, criticizing the West’s indifference to Moscow’s security concerns.

Three days later, on Thursday, February 24, 1400, Putin launched a so-called “special operation” against Ukraine, shifting tensions between Moscow and Kiev to a military confrontation. The war in Ukraine and the reactions to Russia’s action continue.
