UN says March has been a deadly month for civilians in Ukraine

# The United Nations says more than three years on from the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian civilians continue to face the devastating consequences of war. In March alone, 164 Ukrainians were killed and 910 injured, representing a 50-percent spike in civilian casualties from the previous month. UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine says indiscriminate attacks are prohibited under international humanitarian law. It adds that there must be limits to how war is waged.
