However, the actual figures could be much higher.
The figures are based on data from available resources – this was disclosed at an extraordinary meeting of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). The OSCE has about 250 monitors in Ukraine.
The reason for inclusion of the MH17 crash was because it was apparently struck by a missile while the aircraft was flying over eastern Ukraine on 17 July. Washington and Kiev accused Russia-backed rebels of shooting down the jetliner with an advanced Russian missile system in the mistaken belief it was a Ukrainian military plane but that was denied by Russia as well as the rebels.
A ceasefire is active right now in Ukraine but the Ukrainian military's press center has listed five rebel violations of the ceasefire accord overnight,, the rebels have retaliated by accusing the government forces of preparing to storm a town near rebel-held Donetsk which is the region's industrial hub.
Both the sides insist they are strictly observing the ceasefire and continue to blame their opponents for any violations.
