Nearly 1,000 people in Ukraine have been killed since the cease-fire
Nearly 1,000 people have been killed in Ukraine since the Sept. 5 cease-fire, a new UN report shows. That's an average of 13 people per day in eastern Ukraine, the area most affected by the conflict between government troops and pro-Russian rebels.
"The list of victims keeps growing. Civilians, including women, children, minorities and a range of vulnerable individuals and groups continue to suffer the consequences of the political stalemate in Ukraine," Zeid Raad Al Hussein, UN high commissioner for human rights, said in a statement Thursday.
