Ukraine honors the memory of children who died as a result of Russian aggression. At least 707 Ukrainian children have become victims of the war. Also, thousands of children were injured, kidnapped, or their fate remains unknown. This was reported by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, according to UNN.

The Head of State, together with First Lady Olena Zelenska and the Head of the Office of the President Kyrylo Budanov, honored the memory of the 707 children killed as a result of the war.
Today is the day of remembrance for the children killed by Russia. In official language, it is called differently, but in the language of truth, this is exactly how it sounds. This day is about the most painful episodes of the war, about the greatest injustice and evil committed by Russia—when the most vulnerable and innocent die. Children. Currently, this is at least 707 Ukrainian children. And thousands more children whom Russia has wounded, kidnapped, thousands of children whose fate is still unknown. These are important and horrific indicators, but behind them stands something more than just the figures of Russian crimes. These are children's dreams, plans, and hopes that were simply erased. This is the pain of every mother and every father who does not know how to go on living with this—living with such pain
According to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the victims included children of all ages: from infants to schoolchildren and graduates.
Our Ukrainian children. Some were only a few days old, some had just started first grade, and some were supposed to have their graduation. This is who the sick state is at war with. This is who the so-called second army of the world is opposing—an army incapable of winning on the battlefield and asserting itself through children. Blessed memory to every child who perished. It is an eternal duty for all of us to remember, to protect our children, and to do everything so that the evil brought by Russia is punished
Recall
Russia denies the systematic kidnapping of Ukrainian children, calling it a "rescue." Ukraine has submitted a list of hundreds of deported children, but the RF recognizes only "dozens."
