108 children have died at the hands of the Russian military during the war in Ukraine.

The Office of the Prosecutor General provided tragic statistics.

In addition to the dead, as of the morning of March 17, more than 120 children have been injured due to the aggressor’s shelling and rocket attacks.

According to the Office of the Prosecutor General, children were most affected in the following areas:

Kyiv - 52 children,

Kharkiv - 34 children,

Donetsk - 25 children,

Chernihiv - 24 children,

Mykolaiv - 20 children,

Zhytomyr - 15 children,

Sumy - 14 children,

Kherson - 10 children.

Moreover, the bombing and shelling of Ukrainian infrastructure is continuing. During the 22 days of the war, the occupiers have damaged 411 educational institutions, of which 63 were completely destroyed.

Most of the educational institutions were damaged in Donetsk (119), Kharkiv (77), Mykolaiv (30), Sumy (28), Kyiv (35), Kherson (21) oblasts and Kyiv (24).

In addition, the enemy fired on 11 hospitals and three rehabilitation centres, which included facilities for children with disabilities.

 "These data are not final due to the inability to inspect the sites where the hostilities are taking place and in the temporarily occupied territories," the Prosecutor General's Office added.

One of the occupiers' largest crimes in the last days of the war was dropping a bomb on the Donetsk Regional Drama Theatre in the encircled Ukrainian port city of Mariupol on March 16. About a thousand residents of the city, mostly women with children, were sheltering there.

Shortly afterwards, one of the surviving residents of Mariupol managed to get out of an unnamed bomb shelter and published lists of people in one of the shelters. In total, just over 100 survivors are on the list.

The Prosecutor General's Office also reported on the tragedy in the Zaporizhia region, where the Russian occupiers mined cars with civilians. A 6-year-old child died due to the blast.

Near the theatre in Mariupol the word "Children" was marked out on the ground for aircraft pilots to see, however this didn't stop the Russian military.
