Since the beginning of the Russian Federation’s invasion of Ukraine, 161 children had died and 264 had been injured, but the actual number of children killed and injured could not be clarified. That happened because of the fact that in Ukrainian cities Russian troops are engaged in active combat operations.
In Ukraine, because of the war, parents write data about the child and their contacts directly on the body of the child. This is in case adults are killed and the child survives.
Children were put on bracelets and sewn up notes in their clothes with personal information in case of the death of their parents.
