> Russian human rights commissioner Yana Lantratova says she has sent more than 60 letters to the UN since May about what she describes as ongoing Ukrainian military attacks on civilians and civilian targets. Most have gone unanswered, she says. She also urged objective UN reporting and cited the Starobelsk college attack, which Russia says injured 65 civilians and killed 21.
