The United Nations Human Rights Office released a report on Sunday which indicated from February 24th, when the Russian Federation’s attack against Ukraine began through to midnight on Saturday, the U.N. had recorded 2,909 civilian casualties – 1,119 people killed and 1,790 injured. Those killed include 224 men, 168 women, 15 girls, 32 boys, 52 children and 628 adults whose gender is unknown at this point.

Most of the civilian casualties were from explosive weapons with a wide impact area, including shelling from heavy artillery and multiple-launch rocket systems and missile and air strikes, however the OHCHR believes the actual figures are considerably higher, because information is difficult and delayed in areas of active attack.

The Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine reports that as of Sunday morning, 139 children had been killed and at least 205 injured.

Ukraine’s president has said his country could declare neutrality and offer security guarantees to Russia, in an effort to secure peace. New talks are expected to begin in Turkey on Tuesday. Volodymyr Zelenskyy had an interview with independent Russian journalists yesterday and urged Putin to come meet him. He added that he is ready to exchange prisoners of war.
