Since the onset of the full-scale war, 661 children have been killed and over 2200 injured in Ukraine. This was reported by Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko on his Telegram channel.
‎"On the 1342nd day of the war, prosecutors are investigating 5363 criminal cases related to these crimes.
During this time, Russia has: killed 661 children; injured 2203 children; destroyed or damaged over 4500 schools, kindergartens, and 1294 hospitals; abducted and deported more than 19 thousand Ukrainian children; committed at least 23 cases of sexual violence against children" - said Kravchenko.
He emphasized that each case is evidence of a deliberate policy of terror aimed at destroying Ukrainians as a nation.
The Prosecutor General noted that UN Security Council Resolution No. 1261 defines six of the gravest crimes against children during wartime and stated that Russia commits all six daily in Ukraine in front of the world.
‎The head of the Office of the Prosecutor General reported that Ukrainian prosecutors, together with law enforcement and international partners, are investigating every crime.
"We will do everything possible to hold all war criminals accountable, from the perpetrators to the leadership of Russia. Time will not be an obstacle. These crimes have no statute of limitations", - he stated.
