The past two weeks have nearly doubled the number of deaths in the Ukraine conflict, Cecile Pouilly, spokeswoman for the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, told Reuters.
The death toll was at least 2,086 on August 10, compared to 1,129 on July 26.
As we noted earlier, another 5,000 have been wounded.
Pouilly said the figures corresponded to "a clear escalating trend."
She said the figures include Ukrainian soldiers, armed groups, pro-Russian militants, and civilians and are "very conservative estimates."
This appears to be part of the "camp" that was reportedly set up and then broken down this morning:
UPDATE: Putin has now arrived in Crimea to meet with his top security chiefs and address members of government and parliament traveling with him.
Less Ukrainian booze on Russian shelves:
Russia's food safety watchdog has suspended imports of certain types of Ukrainian-made alcoholic drinks.
Rospotrebnadzor said on August 13 that imports of Ukrainian-made vodka, beer and beer-related drinks will be suspended starting on August 15 because of "repeated violations" of legal requirements.
The move comes just one day after the Ukrainian parliament, in a first reading on August 12, backed a bill to impose sanctions on Russian companies and individuals for supporting pro-Russian separatists battling government forces in eastern Ukraine.
Russia has already suspended imports of a number of food products from Ukraine.
It has also imposed restrictions on imports of food from Western nations that have imposed sanctions on Russia over the Ukraine crisis.
