The mayor of Kiev, Vitali Klitschko, confirmed that at least one person was killed and four children were injured in Russian bombings of a school, a nursery and six homes in the last hours in the Ukrainian capital.
The Ukrainian Juvenile Prosecutor's Office reported that at least 109 children were killed and more than 130 have been injured in attacks perpetrated by Russia since the beginning of its invasion of the country, on 24 February, until this Friday.
Most child casualties, including deaths and injuries, have occurred in the capital Kiev region with 55, followed by Chernihiv (29), Kharkiv (24), Donetsk (26), Mikolaiv (20), Yitomir (15), Sumy (14) and Kherson (14).
Since the beginning of the invasion, the Russians are killing at least five Ukrainians a day, Ukrainian Attorney General Irina Venediktova denounced in a document published by Interfax-Ukraine.
Today “the official figure exceeded the critical and terrible mark of 100. The data are not definitive, in conflict points and in the temporarily occupied territories, the Prosecutor's Office and law enforcement agencies do not have the opportunity to inspect the bombings,” he said.
Venediktov also said that the Russians had already bombed more than 400 schools in these days of war, of which 59 have disappeared and will not be able to be used again.
“It is important that specialized UN agencies decide as soon as possible to implement a mission to assess violations of children's rights in the context of the armed conflict in Ukraine,” asked Venediktov.
For his part, Russian President Vladimir Putin is delaying the ceasefire agreement and continues to bomb civilians in Ukraine. During a dialogue with German Foreign Minister Olaf Scholz, he took credit for a possible ceasefire agreement with the neighbouring country and strongly criticized Kiev's positions: “He seeks by all means to delay the negotiation process by putting forward proposals that are not realistic,” he said.
The statements cool the expectations that had accelerated this week, when encouraging signs of progress in the negotiations had come from the Kremlin itself, also paid by Volodymir Zelensky. The Ukrainian president had said that his country would admit the impossibility of joining NATO, although that required a special regime with countries that would guarantee its security and independence from the dictates of Moscow.
But now the Kremlin has once again tightened its speech and summed up the conversation between its boss and the German chancellor in a statement in which it holds Kiev responsible for the delay in the agreement. Putin's strategy seems to be to delay a truce, which led specialists to speculate that he needs time to renew the invading forces and then relaunch his offensive, which has been stalled for days by the impossibility of overcoming Ukrainian resistance in the country's main cities.
