The report states that, that 2014 years in the region killed more than 2,5 thousand. civilians, about 9 thousands of civilians were injured of varying severity. Notably, that earlier UN reports sounded somewhat different data: more 10 thousand. wounded civilians.
also stated, that in Ukraine as a whole about 4,4 million people are affected by hostilities in the Donbass. First of all, we are talking about refugees..
noted, that up to a million citizens cross the demarcation line every month, facing many challenges, including the issue of access to pensions and social benefits.
Recall, that in Ukraine there are measures for the economic blockade of Donbass, when all pensions and other benefits in the territory, not controlled by Kyiv, not listed. Kyiv offers old people and disabled people to cross the line of demarcation every month to receive accruals from banks in controlled territories. Against this background, shelling of the territory of Donbass continues., and the Ukrainian authorities are loudly shouting about the need to send a UN peacekeeping contingent to the border with Russia. Why not on the border with NATO countries?
