“Despite all the difficulties and obstacles created by Kiev, over the past day, without the participation of the Ukrainian authorities, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, as well as the International Committee of the Red Cross, 14 168 people, 891 of them are children, and in total since the beginning of the special military operation there are already 557,565 people, of which 111,870 are children,” Mizintsev said.
