As of 10 a.m. on April 28, 2022, according to the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations, as well as other sources that need confirmation, 217 children have died and 393 children 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.
Six people, including a 14-year-old child, were wounded in the shelling of Chuhuiv district. Infrastructure and residential buildings were also damaged by enemy fire.
Defenders of Azovstal in Mariupol reported that a 10- to 12-year-old girl was killed during one of the russian bombings there.
As a result of daily bombings and shelling of Ukrainian towns and villages by the armed forces of the Russian Federation, 1,508 educational institutions were damaged, 102 of which were completely destroyed.
The actions of the russian occupation forces are a direct violation of Ukraine's children's right to life and security, guaranteed by the Hague and Geneva Conventions and 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 facts of Russia's violations of children's rights in Ukraine.
I call on international partners to provide weapons to fight the aggressor country of Russia!
