The UN Human Rights Council in Geneva was briefed by High Commissioner Volker Türk on Tuesday who described 'a litany of continuous suffering' in Ukraine in the wake of Russia's continuing invasion.

Since the onset of the invasion the UN human rights office (OHCHR) has meticulously monitored the situation. As of December 4, there have been over 10,000 civilian deaths, including 560 children, with an additional 18,500 civilians confirmed injured, with actual figures believed to be much higher due to the difficulties of verifying figures.
