UN says at least 902 civilians have been killed in conflict, though toll is likely to be far higher
A peace deal between Russia and Ukraine is “close”, Turkey’s foreign minister has claimed, as the UN reported that at least 902 civilians have been killed in the four weeks of the war.
Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, whose government has been acting as a “mediator and facilitator”, said there was “momentum” behind the negotiations despite the scepticism of western governments.
