Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has called on UNICEF to clearly identify Russia as the aggressor when reporting on children killed and injured during the ongoing war, according to UATV English. Responding to UNICEF's statement about reported casualties, Sybiha criticized the organization for failing to specify that the deaths were a direct result of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
He accused UNICEF of inadequate fact-checking and inaccuracies, such as incorrectly reporting the number of children killed in Dnipropetrovsk. Sybiha highlighted a recent Russian attack that killed a three-year-old boy in the Kyiv region, emphasizing that these incidents constitute Russia's war crimes. He urged UNICEF to condemn these actions and demand an end to attacks on Ukrainian children.
President Zelenskyy had previously condemned a similar Russian attack on a Ukrainian family, describing it as a horrific crime against civilians.
