 how grave human rights violations were "shockingly routine"){kind=link}
The United Nations Human Rights chief Volker Turk deplored on Friday (March 31) how grave human rights violations were “shockingly routine” in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and said the number of civilian casualties was far higher than official figures.
Addressing the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, Turk said Ukraine was a nation “struggling to survive” in the face of Russia’s invasion.
Fighting is still raging in eastern and southern Ukraine, where Russian forces hold swathes of territory captured after they invaded in February last year.
