According to UN Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peace building Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo, more than 9,200 people have been killed in the conflict in Ukraine.
According to her, over 500 days since the beginning of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine, 9,287 civilians, including 537 children, have been killed. Another 16,384 people, among them 1,117 kids, have suffered wounds. “These are only confirmed figures. The actual number of victims is likely considerably higher,” DiCarlo noted. “Currently, more than 6.3 million Ukrainians are refugees, and an estimated 5.1 million people are internally displaced,” she added.

Meanwhile, the Kremlin said that Russia has stopped participating in a contract that permitted grain to be shipped from war-torn Ukraine through the Black Sea to areas of the world experiencing hunger. This has a negative impact on global food security.
