In its aggressive war against Ukraine, Russia has chosen a new target for its attacks, and it is not military facilities, nor even infrastructure or residential buildings, as was usually the case. Now, Iranian-Russian drones and ballistic missiles are targeting kindergartens in Ukraine. Over the past two days, Russia attacked two children's facilities in Kharkiv and Kyiv. Fortunately, the children were not physically harmed, as they were all in the shelters, but their mental and psychological health suffered acute stress. Without achieving any significant results on the battlefield and facing worthy resistance from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russians have chosen to wage war against the most vulnerable and defenseless — children. This fact confirms their genocidal policy towards Ukraine. By killing children, Russia is destroying the future of Ukraine.
Now these Ukrainian children have experienced firsthand how strongly Russia "desires" peace, what a "peace-loving" and "friendly" country it is. Children are quicker than adults to feel and understand the difference between good and evil, truth and lies. Children do not need dozens of meaningless meetings, futile phone calls, endless chances, and expectations. But it is the adults — the leaders of major countries — who must take responsibility and force the Russian monster to stop the war.
The "Russian world" leaves behind ruins and toys, but not in children's hands, but on their graves.
During the full-scale war, Russia killed 659 children.
