The head of the mission in Ukraine Matilda Bogner reported on this, Ukrinform reports.
"As of today, we have documented that 5 996 people have died and 8 848 have been injured. Among the dead were 382 children. These numbers reflect confirmed individual incidents, and the actual numbers are much higher," Bogner noted.
She also said that the mission recorded the damage or destruction of 252 medical facilities and 415 educational facilities, but the real numbers were much higher, as were the number of civilian casualties.
