Zelenskyy stated that Russia has killed at least 707 Ukrainian children
On the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy released data on the losses among Ukraine’s youngest citizens since the start of the full-scale invasion. According to him, Russia has already killed at least 707 children.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that this commemorative day serves as a reminder of the horrific price Ukrainian children are paying due to Russian cruelty and violence.
“Since the start of the full-scale invasion, Russia has killed at least 707 young Ukrainians. Every death is a child whose future has been stolen. Russia must be held accountable for these crimes,” the President noted.
However, the actual number of victims is significantly higher. Due to constant shelling, active hostilities, and the temporary occupation of Ukrainian territories, an accurate on-the-ground count is impossible.
Ukraine, together with its international partners, continues to document every crime committed by the occupiers against the civilian population, particularly against children, in order to bring the military and political leadership of the aggressor country to strict justice.
The head of state announced this on his Telegram channel.
As a reminder, June 4 is observed in Ukraine as a Day of Remembrance for children who died as a result of the Russian Federation’s armed aggression against Ukraine.
Earlier, Zelenskyystated that the Russian Federation has missiles for monthly massive strikes.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made this statement in his address to participants at the Ukraine-NATO Council meeting in Kyiv, according to the head of state’s official Telegram channel.
