The Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office reported that as of August 28, 379 children have died and another 733 have been injured since the Russian invasion began six months ago, on February 24. The mark of war marks the most vulnerable every day of confrontation.
According to the Ukrainian entity, this is an approximation given that with underreporting, the number of minors affected by the war in Ukraine could be much higher. In addition, they assured that investigations continue to be carried out in all areas, including those occupied, liberated and the most hostile to determine the figure more precisely.
“As of the morning of August 28, 2022, more than 1,112 children were affected in Ukraine as a result of the large-scale armed aggression of the Russian Federation. According to official data from juvenile prosecutors, 379 children died and more than 733 were injured,” says the statement from the Ukrainian Prosecutor’s Office.
The Ukrinform agency published the data with the information from the Prosecutor’s Office, ensuring that ehe highest number of dead and injured children has been recorded in the Donetsk regionbeing one of the sites of greatest interest to Russia and which in turn has reported a high number of military attacks.
Kharkiv and kyiv remain on the list of regions where the most children have been affected by the war. In the report, Ukrinform highlights that on August 26, two children, one eight years old and the other almost two, died as a result of an enemy bombardment in the Zaporizhia region.
Similarly, the Ukrainian government reported that 2,328 educational institutions have been affected by the bombing newspapers by Russia, of which 289 have been completely destroyed.
The other figures left by the war
Last monday, The United Nations confirmed the death of 5,587 civilians and at least 7,800 wounded since the start of the so-called special operation in Ukraine. The Organization warned that these are some of the confirmed victims, but admitted that the real figures are much higher.
According to Ihor Klymenko, head of the Ukrainian Police, at least 1,500 civilians died during the Russian Army’s attempted takeover of kyiv, which lasted a little over a month and failed to achieve its goal, but left a large human loss.
Regarding refugees, the UN has registered more than 6.6 million refugees throughout Europe, of which 3.8 million people are seeking to receive Temporary Protection or protection plans in Europe.
Both Russia and Ukraine have remained silent on their military casualty figures. For his part, Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, general and top commander of the Ukrainian armed forces, estimated that Around 9,000 Ukrainian fighters have lost their lives defending their nation.
In March, Russia published a balance of military casualties, assuring that 1,351 soldiers had died on the battlefield.
For its part, the US government said in early August that the Russian Army had suffered between 70,000 and 80,000 casualties since Putin decided to invade Ukraine.
“Now that’s a combination of killed in action and wounded in action and that number could be a little bit lower, a little higher, but I think that’s in the ballpark,” said Colin Kahl, assistant secretary of defense for Pentagon policies on August 9 from Washington.
To date, Ukraine has lost approximately 20% of its territory and the destruction has cost at least 113,000 million dollars, it is estimated that it will need more than 200,000 for its reconstruction.
For its part, the UN announced that it will help Ukraine with more than 83,000 million dollars in total and has urged the international community to provide greater aid.
