Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, 183 children have been killed and another 336 injured.
Currently, the most children were affected in Donetsk region – 108, Kyiv – 93, Kharkiv – 76, Chernihiv – 51, Mykolaiv – 40, Luhansk – 35, Zaporizhia – 22, Kherson – 29, in Kyiv – 16, Sumy – 16, Zhytomyr – 15.
In particular, the day before, 5 children were killed and 16 were injured in the shelling of the Kramatorsk railway station by the occupiers. On the Russian rocket that bombed the station, there was a cynical inscription “For children.”
Russia is constantly trying to accuse Ukraine of killing the children of Donbass for 8 years, although there is no relevant evidence to support this accusation. But the fact that Russia is openly killing the future of Ukraine – children, indicates a large number of recorded facts, which collects and transmits to relevant international institutions Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine.
Will Russia be able to avoid punishment for these crimes against humanity? What punishment should Russia face for the numerous murders of Ukrainian children?
