Meanwhile, Russian shelling and attacks on civilian populations killed 34 people in the Kharkiv region between March 2 and 3, the emergency services said, according to Reuters.
Ukraine's defence ministry claimed that more than 5,000 Russian soldiers have been killed during the first four days of the invasion in Ukraine, the BBC reported.
The United Nations had voted to condemn Russia's "aggression" against Ukraine 141-5, with 35 abstentions.
As per Reuters, a Ukraine official said Kyiv and Moscow have only agreed on creating humanitarian corridors to evacuate civilians after the second round of ceasefire talks with Russia had not yielded the results Kyiv expected.
More than 1 million people have fled Ukraine since the fighting began, most crossing into Poland and Romania.
