Civilians, Ukrainian soldiers, Russian troops and foreign aid workers are among the dead one year on from the start of the war
On this day last year, Vladimir Putin ordered his troops across the Ukraine border, marking the start of a deadly conflict which has taken the lives of thousands.
However, it says they are still waiting on verification of thousands of reported casualties in Russian-occupied cities such as Mariupol, Lysychansk and Sievierodonetsk, meaning the actual number is likely much higher. However, the most recent figure that Russia has published itself puts the number of its troops killed at 5,937. That figure was released in September.
Eight Brits killed in Ukraine Seven Brits have died in Ukraine since the war began and have been named, while another man whose identity has not yet been revealed was confirmed to have died earlier this month.
