The UN Human Rights Council met in special session in Geneva on atrocities linked to Russia's invasion. High Commissioner Michelle Bachelet said investigators had found 1,000 civilian bodies in Kyiv region alone, some killed in hostilities and others apparently summarily executed. She said Russian forces were likely responsible for most civilian casualties and Ukrainian forces for a far smaller share. Russia did not attend, after its suspension from the council in April.
