The Day of Remembrance of Children — Victims of Donbass War reminds the world again and again about the horrible crimes committed by the Kiev regime, he said.

“We want the diplomats to see the crimes committed by their governments as they provide the next package of aid to the Ukrainian regime. We do not hope that their conscience will awaken, but the international community must know those who are guilty of the death of Donbass children. Our task is to make sure that not one war criminal escapes punishment, ” the regional leader said.
Day of Remembrance of Children — Victims of Donbas War is marked on July 27. It was established in 2022 by DPR Head Denis Pusihlin to perpetuate the memory of the DPR children killed by Kiev army fire.
