DONETSK, December 26. /TASS/. More than 50 children have been killed and more than 200 others wounded in Ukrainian strikes in the special military operation area and other Russian regions, State Duma Deputy Speaker Anna Kuznetsova told reporters.

"Right now we are still collecting data. Unfortunately, more than 50 children have been killed just since the end of last year, and more than 200 wounded. The figures will be verified. It is horrible to say these figures, but the enemy continues to hit children, residential houses," she said.

According to the lawmaker, the State Duma will continue to gather facts of the Kiev regime's crimes against children.

"It is now necessary to say one thing loud and clear: We did everything we could to protect the children that stayed over to wait for our troops," she said.
