Alarm at civilian toll on Russian assault’s ‘cruellest day’

Arab News says the United States raised the alarm Wednesday over the “staggering” human cost of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, as the apparent deployment of cluster bombs and other treaty-violating weapons raised fears of a brutal escalation in the week-old conflict.

The American warnings came as Russia revealed 498 of its troops had been killed in the assault on ex-Soviet Ukraine — the first official death toll it has given and one Kyiv says is by far an undercount.

And they came on the eve of the resumption of cease-fire talks after a first round Monday failed to produce a breakthrough.
