Ukraine: "1,000 days of widespread death, destruction and despair" - UN Secretary-General's remarks

Statement on Ukraine by UN Secretary-General António Guterres, delivered by Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs (DPPA). --- "1,000 days of wide-spread destruction have passed since the Russian Federation launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine – in brazen violation of the UN Charter and international law. 1,000 days of widespread death, destruction and despair that continue unabated for millions of Ukrainians. 1,000 days in, this war rages on, undiminished. Deadly battles engulf more and more of eastern and southern Ukraine. Entire cities, villages and towns have been reduced to rubble. Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Vovchansk and Vuhledar have been virtually wiped off the map. Since February 2022, at least 12,164 civilians have been killed, including over 600 children. At least 26,871 others have been injured. And these are just the confirmed numbers. The actual death toll is likely much higher".
