She tragically became one of the 16 childre☂n who have been killed so far in the war, said Minister of Health Viktor Lyashko, according to .
Another photo captured some survivors, including a woman shown holding her child and pet dog as they crowd into a shelter in Mariupol to avoid street fighting🍨 and clashes in the 𒀰city.
Lyashko called the Russian troops “terrorists” for targeting civilians, and President Volodymyr Zelensky said the Russians should be tried for committing international war crimes.
Fighting continued across Ukraine over the weekend, with♒ no clear end in sight as Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his country’s nuclear arms system to be put on high alert Sunday.
