Ukraine Civilian Death Toll Exceeds 7,000, UN Rights Office Says.
Tributes are left at an apartment block that was heavily damaged by a Russian missile strike, killing dozens inside, in Dnipro on January 16.

It added that actual figures were "considerably higher," as information from locations with intense hostilities is difficult to verify.
