The numerous terrible atrocities perpetrated by Russian troops in Ukraine are difficult to comprehend in their entirety.
The Russians’ heinous torture of Ukrainian children is, however, one of the most awful aspects of those events.

According to Ukraine’s Chief Prosecutor’s Office, 164 Ukrainian children have been verified to have been slain by Russians.
More than 400 more Ukrainian children have been injured in various ways by the Russians. These are only the confirmed figures; the true number of children killed as a result of Putin’s heinous acts in Ukraine is very certainly substantially higher.

This includes the Ukrainian capital’s northern suburbs, Bucha and Irpin, where Russian mass graves and mass executions have shocked the world over the last few days.
According to Tymofiy Mylovanov, a counselor to Ukraine’s President Zelensky, the Russians may have perpetrated even more heinous crimes in Brovary and the surrounding area of Chernihiv.
Mylovanov remarked briefly that eyewitness statements and anecdotal evidence indicate that small Ukrainian children may have been burned alive.
Young women were gang-raped and then slain, while residents were hungry and forced to eat their pets by the Russian beasts.
Bucha, Ukraine after the Russians left. Streets filled with bodies with hands tied behind their backs & shot in the head. A mass grave of just civilians. If the west does nothing about this then 'never again' has to be the biggest joke I've ever heard.#GenocideOfUkrainians pic.twitter.com/QbEemI9hFO

According to eyewitness accounts, Russian soldiers kidnapped Ukrainian youngsters and put them on tanks as human shields to prevent Ukrainian defenders from killing them.
The accounts are part of the evidence gathered by the Ukrainian Chief Prosecutor’s Office.
647 tanks, 1,844 armored personnel vehicles, 1,273 trucks and other vehicles, 92 drones, 147 airplanes, 134 helicopters, seven ships, 165 missile launch trucks, and 330 artillery pieces have all been destroyed.
“It will be recognized by the world as genocide,” Zelensky told reporters. “We know of thousands of people killed and tortured, with their limbs cut off, women raped, children killed,” he said presumably about the atrocities all across Ukraine.

According to eyewitness accounts, full buses of children were driven in front of retreating Russian tanks in the village of Novyi Bykiv, roughly 100 miles north of Kyiv.
According to Colonel Oleksandr Motuzyanyk, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, Putin’s troops have been using Ukrainian youngsters as a living shield for their convoys.
Motuzyanyk promised that the occupiers would be held accountable for all of their war crimes committed in Ukraine.
