President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi in Kyiv have honored the memory of children who were killed by russia's armed aggression in Ukraine.
The Office of the President has said this in a statement, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
It is noted that the leaders of the two countries placed toys at the site of the multimedia martyrology "Children" in Kyiv and honored the memory of the fallen young Ukrainians with a moment of silence.
Prosecutor General Andrii Kostin told Zelenskyy and Modi about the history of the creation of this exposition and the russian shelling of places where children are, in particular, about the missile attack on the largest children's hospital Okhmatdyt.
In particular, he said that 570 Ukrainian children have been killed since the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion, however, this number is not final - there is not all the information from the temporarily occupied territories, and the number of victims is increasing due to constant russian attacks.
The multimedia project "Children" was created in June 2022 on the occasion of the Day of Remembrance of Children Killed by the Armed Aggression of the russian federation against Ukraine. The names and photos of young Ukrainians who were killed by the aggressor state are displayed in the martyrology.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, Modi is in Kyiv on an official visit on August 23, the Day of the National Flag of Ukraine.
