ANKARA (AA) – At least 161 children have been killed and 264 others injured since Russia launched its war on Ukraine on February 24, the Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office has claimed.
The data is not yet complete, the office said in a statement, noting that work is underway to determine the casualties in several regions, particularly in the besieged city of Mariupol, some areas of the capital Kyiv, northern Chernihiv, and the easternmost Luhansk regions.
Currently, it said that the number of most affected children is in Donetsk, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Mykolaiv, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Sumy, and Zhytomyr areas, as well as in Kyiv.
Meanwhile, the Russian army’s bombardments damaged 869 educational facilities, with 83 of them entirely destroyed.
It also claimed that there have been 4,204 documented “crimes of aggression and military crimes,” as well as 2,219 “crimes against the national security” of Ukraine.
