At a press conference in Kyiv on Friday, Head of the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine Matilda Bogner said the war resulted in colossal losses. According to her, as of this week, the Un documented that over 8,000 civilians have died and almost 14,000 have been injured. More than 90% were victims of missile attacks, due to explosive weapons or mines, she said. Bogner said the real figures are much higher.
