UKRAINIAN Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov said today that 150 children had been killed and more than 400 schools destroyed since Russia’s invasion three weeks ago.
More than 110 hospitals have also been damaged in air strikes he said, although he provided no evidence to back his assertions.
“Thousands and thousands of civilians” have been killed with many trapped under the rubble of buildings, Mr Reznikov added, a claim which Russia denies.
