"Let's find out the terrible truth": Zelensky told how many children of the Armed Forces were killed in Ukraine

The Ukrainian leader stressed that now we can talk only about the approximate number of victims of the Russian-Ukrainian war. After all, many children die in Russia -occupied territories, and remain forever under the ruins of houses, as in Mariupol. During the full -scale war, nearly 500 Ukrainian children were killed by the Russian Federation. This was stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday, June 4.

"Russian terror has taken the lives of hundreds of our children, and only from February 24, during a full -scale war - it is clear about the death of 485 children," the President said. Zelensky said that it was not the final number of children who died during the war. These are only those little Ukrainians whose death is documented. And the real number of killed children is much larger. "Every time we liberate our land from Russian invaders, we learn the terrible truth about occupation.

On how many people, how many children are in burials in the occupied territory - in the graves of this war, this aggression . . . and how many still - under the ruins in Russia burned Ukrainian cities and villages, ”the Ukrainian leader added. In addition, Volodymyr Zelenskyy touched the topic of deportation of children from Ukraine to the Russian Federation. According to him, in this case, Ukraine also does not have real figures.

"We are aware of at least 19505 deported Ukrainian children, and it is only part of all of our little Ukrainians and Ukrainian women who are still in the enemy," the president emphasized. He added that as of today, only 371 minors have been returned to Ukraine. We will remind, on June 4 there were details about a two -year -old girl who died during shelling.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation struck rockets on the suburbs of the Dnieper at a time when the two -year -old child and her mother were in the apartment. The woman managed to get out of the rubble alive and hospitalize. But her daughter died. In addition, new information about children affected during a rocket strike in the Dnieper suburbs appeared on the same day. According to the head of the region, three children and adolescents are in hospital after surgery.
