LVIV, UKRAINE - MARCH 02: Several people in the crypt of a church converted into a museum, which is now used as a shelter, on the eighth day since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, in Lviv (Ukraine). After 8 days of war since the beginning of the attacks in Ukraine by Russia, the balance of the war according to the latest information, both by the Ukrainian government and UNHCR, is at least 2,000 civilians dead and about one million refugees who have fled Ukraine. In the early hours of this eighth day of fighting, Russia has entered a new town of 300,000 inhabitants. Russian and Ukrainian delegations are scheduled to sit down at the negotiating table today. On the table is the demand by the former Soviet republic for a ceasefire and the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukrainian territory. (Photo By Pau Venteo/Europa Press via Getty Images)
