February 24th, morning. Millions of Ukrainians woke up because of the sounds of explosions and air alarm. February 24th, when peaceful citizens slept, putin cinically invaded Ukraine – the full-scale war has begun. 20th of March, 12 P.M – it was known that 115 children were killed by russian military forces. 115 pure, innocent souls. These kids won’t go to school anymore, won’t have friends, won’t celebrate their birthdays, won’t fall in love, won’t live anymore. These are the stories of Ukrainian children that only had their lives begun.
You can see the smiling girl from the Ukrainian city Okhtyrka, Sumy Region on the photo. This place became one of the most dangerous war zones, where russian soldiers launched missile strikes on the living houses. It was only 3 months before her eight birthday – she got injured on 25th of February during the shelling of a preschool from “Hurricane” and “Hail”. Her grandfather died with her – he tried to protect Alisa by covering her with his body. It was told by the General Prosecutor of Ukraine Iryna Venedyktova.
Mariupol, Donetsk Region – horrible military action was launched here. The occupiers used weapons, tanks and air bombs against the civilian population. On February 27, a 6-year-old girl was seriously injured by russian soldiers shelling. Medics tried to save her life, but the child died in the hospital. Reportage from the hospital, to which she was brought, was published by Associated Press.

Since the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion, civilians, including women and children, have been dying every day in Ukraine at the hands of the occupiers.
