Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the Russian casualty rate a 'huge tragedy' for the country.
Russia has admitted suffering "significant losses of troops" in Ukraine, as the invasion enters its 44th day.
The body expressed its "grave concern at the ongoing human rights and humanitarian crisis", and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of further atrocities in Borodyanka, a town near the capital Kyiv.Mr Peskov denied any suggestion that Russian troops were responsible for executions in the town of Bucha and told the broadcaster that "we're living in days of fakes and lies".
"Our military are doing their best to bring an end to that operation," he said. "And we do hope that in coming days, in the foreseeable future, this operation will reach its goals or will finish it by the negotiations between Russian and Ukrainian delegation." And the EU agreed to gradually impose a ban on imports of Russian coal, worth around $4bn a year to the Russian economy, over the next 120 days.
