Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale war, 1,490 children have been injured, and 980 minors have received injuries of varying degrees of severity.
Ukraine's Prosecutor's office makes the relevant statement.
Russia has officially abducted 19,000 children, but reports claim the enemy state stole over 700,000 children on its territory.
Juvenile prosecutors emphasize that these numbers are not final, as work is ongoing to establish them in places of active hostilities, in temporarily occupied and liberated territories.
Children were most affected in the following regions:
- Donetsk – 464,
- Kharkiv – 283,
- Kyiv – 128,
- Mykolaiv– 89,
- Chernihiv – 71,
- Luhansk – 67,
- Kherson – 105,
- Zaporizhzhia – 91,
- Dnipropetrovsk – 80.
The latest discovered crimes against children:
- On June 3, a two-year-old girl was killed, and five children aged 6 to 17 were injured after a rocket fire by the aggressor state in the city of Pidhorodne, Dnipropetrovsk region.
- On June 3, two boys aged 15 and 16 were wounded after the enemy shelling in the town of Hirnyk, Donetsk region.
As of March 23, 3,126 educational institutions were damaged due to bombing and shelling by Russian forces. 338 of them were completely destroyed.
As of May 30, juvenile prosecutors emphasize that they have already found 12,979 children. The prosecutor's office considers 394 minors to be missing.
The ministry stressed that 19,484 children were deported to Russia and the so-called republics (occupied military formations in Donetsk and Luhansk), and only 371 minors were brought back home.
