Of those killed, the UN estimates 58 children have died while 81 have also been injured since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The UN also reported up to four million people have fled Ukraine.
Ukrainian officials ahve also warned a humanitarian crisis is evolving in the southern city of Mariupol due to low supplies of water, food and medicine.
There were 45 Ukrainian buses sent to the city in order to attempt to deliver supplies and rescue citizens, Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk and the Red Cross said.
The buses departed for Mariupol after the International Committee Red Cross (ICRC) agreed to open a safe corridor with Russia and will also attempt to rescue civilians from the besieged city.
"It’s desperately important that this operation takes place. The lives of tens of thousands of people in Mariupol depend on it,” ICRC spokesperson Ewan Watson said.
"For logistics and security reasons, we’ll be ready to lead the safe passage operation tomorrow, Friday, provided all the parties agree to the exact terms, including the route, the start time and the duration.”
Despite the humanitarian crisis, Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg warned Russian troops are now relocating to the east to refocus efforts on the Donbas region.
