The Ukrainian government says at least 1-thousand-170 people have been killed in a city in its south-east since Russia's invasion began a couple of weeks ago,... with dozens buried in a mass grave.

Lee Seung-jae has more.
At least 1-thousand-170 civilians have been killed in Ukraine's besieged city of Mariupol since the start of the Russian invasion.
This,... according to Mariupol's deputy mayor Serhiy Orlov,... who added that 47 people were buried in a mass grave on Wednesday.
Orlov added that people in the city are without water, heat, electricity and gas,... with residents forced to drink melting snow.
The UN human rights office said Wednesday that it had "verified" 1-thousand-424 civilian casualties since the invasion began two weeks ago,... but believes that the real figures are "considerably higher".
It added that most civilian casualties were caused by explosive weapons,... including from shelling, missile and air strikes.
Meanwhile,... the UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said Wednesday that no health facility "should ever be a target",... after an apparent Russian air strike hit a children's hospital in Mariupol.
The attack left at least 17 adult staff injured.
The message was echoed by the World Health Organization,... who also called for an immediate halt to attacks on hospitals, health care workers, and ambulances.
Amid the continuing siege against Ukraine,.. the EU's Committee of Permanent Representatives approved additional sanctions on officials and agencies in Russia and Belarus.
The latest measures imposed new sanctions on Russian leaders and oligarchs,... as well as members of their families with connections to Russia's aggression against Ukraine.
It also approved sanctions that complement and build on measures that they have already taken.
In particular,.... the measures are aimed at cutting three Belarusian banks off from the SWIFT payment system.
