UKRAINE’S president Volodymyr Zelensky warned Vladimir Putin today that he will never be forgiven for the killing of children as at least 52 were feared to have died in the first 13 days of the invasion.
The full horror of the conflict was increasingly glaring for the world to see as more and more young lives were being destroyed by Mr Putin’s “barbaric” military action.
The Ukrainian authorities also claimed that Russian military chiefs were increasingly bombarding residential areas having failed to make significant ground force advances, including on the capital Kyiv.
As the civilian death toll rises amid the “indiscriminate” shelling, Mr Zelensky said: “We will not allow anyone in the world to ignore the suffering and murder of our people, our children.
“When I spoke to the British Parliament (yesterday afternoon), the scariest number was 50. Fifty Ukrainian children killed in 13 days of war. And in an hour it was 52. Fifty two children. I will never forgive that. And I know that you will never forgive the invaders.”

Just hours later, a Russian airstrike on Sumy, a city in north-eastern Ukraine, was reported to have killed one of Ukraine’s most talented young martial arts fighters. Artyom Priymenko, 16, and his family were said to have died when bombs hit a residential area.
