Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasised that this commemorative day serves as a reminder of the terrible 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 count on the ground 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 justice.
