According to the report, 78 children were killed in Donetsk region, 77 in Kyiv region, 61 in Kharkiv, 49 in Chernihiv.

In one example, the report says a child was killed as a result of the shelling of the city of Mykolaiv by Russian forces.

"It became known that during the occupation of Vorzel, Kyiv region, the aggressor’s servicemen threw a smoke grenade into the basement of one of the houses, where a 14-year-old child and a woman were hiding, and then opened fire.

The child died immediately, and the mother – two days later."
