More than 19,000 Ukrainian children have been deported to Russia and the temporarily occupied territories.
This was announced by Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin during the opening of the exhibition and presentation of the book Living the War: Children.
According to him, the Prosecutor General's Office has registered 129,000 war crimes, including more than 3,800 crimes against Ukrainian children.
‘These crimes include the murder of Ukrainian children. Unfortunately, today we can confirm 550 facts. These include crimes of violence, injuries and mutilations, inhuman treatment, torture, and, of course, the mass deportation of more than 19,000 Ukrainian children to Russia and the temporarily occupied territories. But these figures... are not final,’ Kostin said.
He noted that ‘we can only imagine how many children have suffered in the temporarily occupied territories, which we have not yet been able to reach.’
