Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Mykolaiv Oblast<\/strong> has lost 22<\/strong> children. This was reported on Thursday, 4 June<\/strong>, the Day of Remembrance for children who died as a result of armed Russian aggression, by the head of the Mykolaiv OVA<\/strong> Vitaliy Kim<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to him, just in 2026<\/strong> in the Mykolaiv region<\/strong> a 13-year-old<\/strong> girl died as a result of hostilities. This is another child death caused by Russia’s war against the peaceful population of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The head of the Mykolaiv OVA<\/strong> Vitaliy Kim<\/strong>, on the Day of Remembrance for children who died as a result of armed Russian aggression, recalled the losses that the Mykolaiv region<\/strong> has suffered since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.<\/p>\n

\n

“Every year on June 4 Ukraine bows its head in sorrow, remembering the smallest and most defenseless victims of the Russian war<\/p>\n

Since the beginning of the Russian Federation’s full-scale aggression, the Mykolaiv region has endured numerous losses and suffering. The war has taken many lives of residents of our land, among them very young, innocent children.<\/p>\n

During the full-scale invasion, 22 children have been killed in the oblast. Unfortunately, this year the Russians also took the life of a 13-year-old girl from the Mykolaiv region.<\/p>\n

This pain is with us forever. It is a wound that will not heal with time. We bow our heads in mourning and remember\u2026”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In Mykolaiv<\/strong> a memorial event was also held for the Day of Remembrance for children who died as a result of armed Russian aggression against Ukraine. Representatives of the regional authorities, the education sector, the public and city residents took part in the ceremony.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Among the participants were the deputy head of the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration<\/strong> Oleksandr Traitli<\/strong>, the director of the Department of Education and Science of the OVA<\/strong> Alla Velykhovska<\/strong>, the head of the children’s services Iryna Ponomaryova<\/strong>, as well as educators and concerned city residents.<\/p>\n

Those present honored the memory of the deceased children with a minute of silence. Special attention during the event was paid to the children of Mykolaiv Oblast<\/strong> whose lives were cut short by Russian aggression.<\/p>\n

As a sign of bright memory for the little Ukrainians, participants of the ceremony lit candles. Symbolic angels and bells were placed on the trees \u2014 as a reminder of the children’s voices that will never sound again but will remain forever in the memory of relatives, communities and the entire country.<\/p>\n

According to the children’s service of the Mykolaiv OVA<\/strong>, since the start of the full-scale invasion 22<\/strong> children have died in the region. Each such death is not a statistic, but a ruined life, an interrupted story and an irreparable tragedy for the family.<\/p>\n

Organizers emphasized: the memory of every child killed by the war must be preserved as a reminder of the price of freedom and of why Ukraine is forced to defend its future from Russian aggression.<\/p>\n

The mayor of Mykolaiv<\/strong> Oleksandr Senkevych<\/strong> also reminded that among those killed by Russia’s actions are young Mykolaiv residents.<\/p>\n

\n

“\ud83e\uddf8\ud83d\udd6f June 4 is the Day of Commemoration for children who died as a result of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation.<\/p>\n

It is the Russian aggressor who brought war to our land.
\nIt is Russian shelling that takes the lives of Ukrainian children.<\/p>\n

Mykolaiv remembers: three of our young residents died due to Russia’s actions.<\/p>\n

And behind each of these losses is a life destroyed that had only just begun.<\/p>\n

This is a crime for which there must be accountability.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd6f In bright memory of the little Mykolaiv residents and all Ukrainian children killed by Russian aggression.<\/p>\n

We remember. We will not forgive.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
