Children lives lost to Ukraine war.
An average of two children have been killed and more than four have been injured in Ukraine every day since Russia launched its invasion in February, according to the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF). Attacks and explosive weapons in urban areas are the first responsible for children dying across Ukraine over the past three months, the agency said in a statement on Wednesdays. The figures come on 1 June on the International Day for Protection of Children. “Instead of celebrating the occasion, we are solemnly approaching June 3 – the 100th day of a war that has shattered the lives of millions of children,” said UNICEF executive director Catherine Russell.
