Ukraine says over 300 children have died since beginning of Russia's invasion

The human rights commissioner of the Ukrainian parliament updated statistics on child deaths since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The commissioner reports that 316 children have died and 705 have suffered injuries. The commissioner also stated that 6,159 people have been deported and 204 children are classified as missing.

Prosecutors in Ukraine and Western authorities are looking into a war crime that is allegedly being committed: the forcible repatriation of tens of thousands of Ukrainians into Russia.

Moscow refutes these allegations and claims that Ukrainians entered Russia voluntarily.
