Watch live as US rights envoy Uzra Zeya provides briefing on Ukraine

Uzra Zeya, the US under-secretary for civilian security, democracy and human rights, is briefing the media on the situation in Ukraine.

Following Vladimir Putin's order to invade last Thursday, at least 352 innocent Ukrainian civilians, including 14 children, have been killed.
