As of 10 a.m. on April 14, 2022, according to the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations and other sources that need confirmation, 197 (+6 per day) children have died and 351 children (+2 per day) have been injured since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began.
It is impossible to establish the actual number of dead and wounded children due to the fact that the occupying forces are actively fighting in Ukrainian cities.
The number of children killed as a result of the shelling of the Kramatorsk railway station has increased. As of today, two more children have died at the hospital. A total of 7 children were killed in the shelling of the railway station.
The bodies of children aged 4 and 10 with injuries were found in Gostomel and Bucha in the Kyiv region.
It also became known that in February, at a checkpoint in the Chornobyl zone near the village of Dytyatky in the Kyiv region, Russian servicemen shot dead a civilian car that had stopped on the roadside. A father and his minor son died.
As a result of the shelling of the village of Novoselivka in the Polohiv district of the Zaporizhia region by the russian military, a 10-year-old boy was seriously injured.
As a result of daily bombings and shelling, 1,014 educational institutions were damaged, 91 of which were completely destroyed.
Such actions by the russian occupation forces are a direct violation of the fundamental rights of children - the right to life and health, guaranteed to every child in the world by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
I appeal to the UN Commission for Investigation Human Rights Violations during Russia's Military Invasion of Ukraine to take into account these violations of children rights in Ukraine by Russia.
I call on international partners to close the skies over Ukraine and provide weapons to fight the aggressor country of Russia!
