President of Ukraine ZelenskyPutin’s wife pleaded with the media to “tell the terrible truth” that Putin’s troops are “deliberately and cynically” killing children.
Elena Zelenskaya went to Instagram say that the Russians have been killing Ukrainian children since Putin’s troops invaded the country on February 24th.
She asked NATO introduce a no-fly zone over Ukraine in order to “save our children, because tomorrow it will save yours.”
She said: “Russian invaders are killing Ukrainian children. Consciously and cynically.

An 18-month-old boy named Kirill (pictured carried by his father) was fatally wounded in the southern city of Mariupol after Russian troops shelled Ukraine’s second city just minutes after the agreed ceasefire ended on Saturday.
She wrote: “When people in Russia say that their troops do not harm civilians, show them these photos!”
“I have to tell you about it. 38 children have already died in Ukraine.
“And this figure may increase at this very moment due to the shelling of our peaceful cities!
“When they say in Russia that their troops do not harm civilians, show them these photos!”

And yesterday, in one of the most heartbreaking scenes of the war, the bodies of those killed in a mortar attack were seen lying motionless on the road.
Suitcases were packed beside them, packed in anticipation of what they hoped would be their journey to safety. Among the luggage was even a pet carrier.
A mother and two children were killed and a father was wounded in a mortar attack in Irpen near Kiev on Sunday as hundreds of civilians fled.

Three members of the same family were among those killed in the attack by Vladimir Putin’s forces on Irpin, a city 19 miles from Kyiv.
The horrific footage captures the horrific experiences of mothers, fathers, grandparents and children fleeing Russian artillery fire.
On the 11th day of the conflict, men, women and children were needlessly attacked and their neighborhoods were reduced to rubble.
Across Ukraine, ceasefires brokered by the Red Cross were violated and humanitarian corridors were closed. The UK government said Russia was targeting “settlements” to break the resistance of the Ukrainian people.
The use of this nefarious tactic last night was beyond question, despite Putin’s denials and disinformation being emitted from Moscow.
Ms Zelenskaya added: “Show them the faces of these kids who weren’t even given a chance to grow up. How many more children must die to convince Russian troops to cease fire and open humanitarian corridors?

“We urgently need corridors in the hottest cities of Ukraine! Hundreds of children are dying there in basements without food or medical care.
“Russian soldiers shoot families who try to leave buildings. They also kill volunteers who try to help.
“I appeal to all unbiased media in the world!
“Tell this terrible truth: Russian invaders are killing Ukrainian children.
“Tell this to Russian mothers – let them know what exactly their sons are doing here in Ukraine.
“Show these photos to Russian women – your husbands, brothers, compatriots are killing Ukrainian children!
“Let them know that they are personally responsible for the death of every Ukrainian child, because they gave their tacit consent to these crimes.
“To NATO countries: close the sky over Ukraine! Save our children, because tomorrow it will save yours!”
Just days ago, a captive Russian soldier begged his family not to believe Moscow’s “propaganda” as he claimed that Putin’s troops were killing children in Ukraine.
A soldier captured by Ukrainian forces urged people not to trust what they hear on Russian television as he claimed the Kremlin was brainwashing people.

In a shared video facebook A serviceman from the Security Service of Ukraine claims that Russian troops are killing civilians and babies in Ukraine.
He says, “What’s going on here [in the Ukraine] Russia is to blame for everything. Neither Ukraine nor anyone else. They are [Russian troops] killing civilians. Babies are being killed.”
