No fewer than 100 children have been killed since Russia’s attack on Ukraine began.
The Ukrainian Defence Ministry made this known in a tweet on Wednesday,
“Today, a tragic bloody line was crossed,more than 100 children were killed during 20 days of 🇷🇺 war against 🇺🇦. Every second 1 child leaves Ukraine to escape the war. Russia will be held to account and will pay for everything.#StopRussianGenocide.
“Russia will be held to account and will pay for everything,” the ministry said.
Also, Ukraine’s Prosecutor-General stated 7that 103 children had been confirmed dead so far and another 100 were wounded.
“The invaders are killing at least five children every day,” Iryna Venediktova, member of the Parliament of Ukraine wrote in a Facebook post.
She added that the numbers were not complete as authorities did not have access to information in contested areas.
Around 400 school buildings and teaching facilities were attacked and about 60 were completely destroyed, Venediktova said, calling on the UN to investigate.
