Russian aggression leaves 510 Ukrainian children dead

Russian forces have already killed 510 children and injured another 1,144 across Ukraine since the full-scale invasion.

That’s according to the Prosecutor General's Office, Ukfinform reports.

"More than 1,654 children were affected in Ukraine as a result of Russia’s full-scale armed aggression. As of the morning of November 14, 2023, as per reports filed by juvenile prosecutors, 510 children were killed and 1,144 suffered injuries of varying degrees of severity," the statement reads.

The data on the children’s death toll are not final as work is ongoing to verify reports coming from the hostility zones, temporarily captured and recently liberated territories.

The largest numbers of affected children were reported in Donetsk region (492), Kharkiv region (304), Kherson region (135), Kyiv region (129), Zaporizhzhia region (100), Mykolaiv region (97), Dnipropetrovsk region (97), Chernihiv region (72), and Luhansk region (67).

On November 13, a 2-month-old infant was injured as the Russian forces hit a civilian car near the village of Zelenivka, Kherson region.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, the American director Evgeny Afineevsky, the author of the Oscar-nominated film telling a story of Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity, Winter on Fire, is shooting a documentary about children injured since Russia’s full-scale invasion at the Unbroken National Rehabilitation Center.
