More than 9,000 Ukrainian civilians, including 453 children, have been killed in attacks by Russian forces since they invaded the country last year, a senior Ukrainian presidential aide told the World Economic Forum.
The number of casualties is far higher than the figures released by the Office of the UN high commissioner for human rights earlier this week. According to the UN human rights agency, more than 7,000 civilians in Ukraine lost their lives since Russia invaded the neighboring nation on February 24, 2022.
