Minister of Health of Ukraine Viktor Liashko announced the death of 16 children in Ukraine as a result of the actions of the Russian occupation troops, starting from February 24.

"For the fourth day… by operating the wounded around the clock, we are saving lives. We are also operating on children. Unfortunately, 16 children could not be saved," Liashko said on the air of the Rada TV channel on Sunday.

"These are the results of what the Russian army is doing, which cannot be called an army, because it is not the army that shoots at doctors, at children, at schools, at kindergartens – terrorists do it. And I declare again: this is not the army – these are terrorists," the minister said.
