Russia has called on the United Nations to add Ukraine to its list of parties responsible for grave violations against children in armed conflicts, citing civilian casualties from Ukrainian military operations.
Speaking at a UN Security Council meeting, Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia said 1,903 children have been killed or injured in attacks by Ukrainian forces since 2022, including 313 killed and 1,590 wounded.
He also cited casualties in Donbass between 2014 and 2021, when 138 children were killed and another 439 wounded. Nebenzia criticized the UN secretary-general's annual report for failing to fully reflect violations attributed to Ukrainian forces.
āUkraine is still not on the list of violators against children. We believe this situation must change,ā he said.
