Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine have been 85 children killed and over 100 injured. Most of the victims were in the Kiev, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Sumy, Kherson, Mykolaiv and Zhytomyr regions. Meanwhile, they are scheduled for today 14 humanitarian corridors to evacuate civilians from war zones. A new attempt will be made to bring humanitarian aid to the besieged city of Mariupol, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk announced. In the convoy with several tons of aid there are also empty buses with which it is hoped that civilians can be rescued and taken to Zaporizhzhia. Unfortunately, every attempt at a humanitarian corridor with this city has so far failed.
Efforts will be made today to evacuate the inhabitants of the city of Polohy, between Mariupol and Zaporizhzhia, as well as other locations west, north east and north of Kiev, and in the eastern Luhansk region.
