“We categorically reject these statements. Our military forces risk their lives, repeatedly save children, and evacuate them from shelling that the Ukrainian Armed Forces conducted against citizens,” the spokesman stated.

Peskov replied that the 2022 report presented this Wednesday accuses the Russian military forces and armed groups linked to them of killing and maiming minors with explosive weapons, as well as child theft.

At the same time, the United Nations did not add the Ukrainian Armed Forces to the list of “parties that do commit grave violations against children during armed conflict,” he concluded.
