According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in addition to the children who died, another 200,000 children were forcibly taken to Russia. In addition, at least 446 children were injured and another 139 children are missing.
To commemorate the children, numerous yellow school buses are parked in the market square of Lviv, a city in western Ukraine. There are no children on the buses, but there are cuddly toys. “They represent the children who unfortunately will never go on an excursion by bus again,” said Andriy Sadvyi, the mayor of Lviv.
