The U.S. Embassy added, Americans should consider leaving Russia while some commercial options are still available.<\/p>\n<p>This comes amid elevated global tensions as Russia continues its invasion of Ukraine. Several NATO member states have since closed their air space to Russian planes, which has put international travel at risk of major disruptions.<\/p>\n<p>Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine has killed more than 100 civilians, including seven children, and injured over 300 others. United Nations Human Rights Chief Michelle Bachelet gave the update Monday while also expressing she fears the death toll could be much higher. Bachelet met with Ukrainian and Russian ambassadors for a UN Human Rights Council session in Geneva and they all agreed to hold an urgent debate this week on Russia\u2019s invasion.<\/p>\n<p>More than 500,000 people have been forced to flee Ukraine and Bachelet said the attack on the country is putting countless lives at risk. Ukraine\u2019s ambassador to the UN said Russia\u2019s attack on Ukraine is an attack on every UN member state.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cMost of these civilians were killed by explosive weapons with a wide impact area, including shelling from heavy artillery and multi-launch rocket systems and air strikes,\u201d Bachelet explained.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, Russia\u2019s ambassador claims they launched special operations to stop tragedy in Donbass and its forces were not firing at civilians.\u00a0UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres condemned Russia\u2019s assault and said the global body must show Ukraine that they stand with them during their time of need.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2681216\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2681216\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2681216\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/AP22058523005306.jpg\" alt=\"Refugees from Ukraine arrive to the railway station in Przemysl, Poland, Sunday, Feb. 27, 2022.
