Ukraine: Nearly 9,000 Troops Killed in War with Russia

Ukraine's military chief says nearly 9,000 soldiers have died since Russia invaded Ukraine almost six months ago. General Valerii Zaluzhnyi made the remarks Monday at a veterans event, giving the first official toll of Ukraine's military losses since April. The United Nations says it has confirmed the deaths of more than 5,500 civilians during Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which began February 24. The U.N. children's agency said Monday it has confirmed at least 972 Ukrainian children killed or injured from violence but said the true number is likely to be much higher. Most of the child casualties have been caused by the use of explosive weapons, according to a statement by UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell.
