Official: 109 children dead in Ukraine war

At least 109 children have died and more than 130 children have been injured since the beginning of Ukraine's Russian occupation, according to Lyudmyla Denisova of Ukraine's Human Rights Commission. This number of deaths is based on preliminary investigations and resources, but the actual number of dead and injured is hard to determine, she said.

There are about 3,000 babies in the besieged port city of Marioupolis, she added.

Today, it is the 23rd day of Ukraine's Russian occupation, the first major land war in Europe in decades.

Moscow's attack has started in the early 24th hour. Russian President Vladimir Putin has, according to him, launched a <x0-special” operation for “demilitarisation and denacisation” of Ukraine. The Kremlin's action has stirred anger and has been condemned worldwide.

The United States and its allies have responded with severe sanctions against Moscow, condemning the attack and pledging that they would hold Russia responsible for the war. /Euronews
