At least 589 Ukrainian civilians were killed and another 2,685 injured in Russia's war against Ukraine between June 1 and Aug. 31, according to a report by the Office of the U.N.

1.5 million Ukrainian children at risk of being deported to Russia, ombudsman says
Around 1.5 million Ukrainian children who remain in occupied areas of Ukraine are at high risk of being deported to Russia, Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets said on October 2. Russia has already abducted more than 20,000 children since the start of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Lubinets said. Less than 400 of them have been returned home, according to the Children of War database. Deported children have their personal data changed so that their relatives cannot find and bring them back home, the ombudsman added.
Ukraine withdraws troops from Vuhledar
Ukraine withdraws troops from Vuhledar due to the threat of encirclement of the city. The Russians suffered numerous losses as a result of prolonged fighting, but did not stop trying to capture Vuhledar. They sent reserves to the city to exhaust the defense of the Ukrainian units. Because of this, there was a threat to Vuhledarʼs entourage. The higher command of Ukraine ordered the withdrawal of units from Vuhledar in order to preserve personnel and military equipment, and to take positions for further battles.
