The Russian invasion has murdered at least 13 children so far in its invasion of Ukraine, according to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
Russian Bombs Killing Civilians in Ukraine
Initial reports from multiple news reports said a six year old boy was killed by Russian bombs, a disturbing development which unfortunately appears to be continuing. A March 3 report in the Kyiv Independent said a “Six-Year Old Boy Was Killed in Kyiv Clashes,” and in following days numerous news reports citing civilian deaths are appearing in TV and prints news reports around the world.
Liz Throssel, the spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, issued a statement saying “at least 136 people, including 13 children, have been killed in Ukraine since Thursday, February 24. Another 400 civilians, including 26 children, have been injured.”
These numbers appear to be growing quickly as Russia continues to intensify attacks. As the civilian death toll mounts, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby was careful not to accuse Russia of “deliberately or intentionally” killing civilians, yet he also did raise questions about how civilian apartment buildings are being hit by long-range Russian cruise missiles.
For years, reports in the Russian press have cited their advanced technology built into many of their weapons systems, and one cannot help but think Russia must have a high-measure of precision-targeting technology as well as an ability to accurately identify targets from satellites.
