The armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine has already killed 9,000 people and injured 20,000 people.

Foreign Minister of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin said this while delivering his speech at the 31st session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, the press service of the Ministry reports.

"The Russian aggression against Ukraine has led to the death of 9,000 people. Over 20,000 people have been injured and nearly two million people have been displaced. During these two years of aggression in Donbas, the powerful army of 40,000 people has been created, which is funded, equipped and supported by Russia under the command of Russian officers," Klimkin said.

According to him, Russia "came to the Ukrainian land with arms and soldiers as it had happened in Georgia in 2008."
