On August 20, Russians attacked a children's café in the village of Małokateryniwka in the Zaporizhzhia region. One child was killed in the attack. Three children and an 18-year-old girl were injured. In addition, two people died in the Kherson and Donetsk regions.

Ivan Fedorov, head of the Military Administration of the Zaporizhzhia region, conveyed sad news. On August 20, Russians attacked a children's café in the village of Małokateryniwka in the Zaporizhzhia region.

Three children were injured, and one of them is in critical condition. This is the result of the Russian attack on Małokateryniwka in the Zaporizhzhia region. There is also one victim, a 15-year-old boy, Ivan Fedorov said, as quoted by "Ukrainska Pravda".

This is another act of terror by Vladimir Putin's army. In Kyiv, there was a tragic missile attack on Ukraine's largest children's hospital, Okhmatdyt. The shelling, which took place on July 8, completely destroyed the oncology and intensive care unit.

Dozens of people were injured, and ten died under the hospital's rubble, including many children. One of the victims was a young doctor, Svitlana Lukianchuk from Lviv, who worked as a pediatric nephrologist.

Another crime by Russia beyond the bounds of humanity. We will not stop until the perpetrators of this criminal aggression are brought to justice, declared Attorney General Andriy Kostin.
