On March 24th the 13-year-old girl from the settlement in Nikolayevshchina as a result of artillery shelling by the Russian military received numerous face wounds. On March 23th, 2022, due to the shelling of the pedestrian bridge in Chernihiv by the occupiers, a family with an 11-year-old boy received bodily injuries in the form of shrapnel wounds.
These data are not conclusive, as it is not possible to inspect the sites of shelling in areas of active hostilities and in the temporarily occupied territories.
It should also be added that more than 4 million children were evacuated from Ukraine as a result of the Russian invasion.
