Monument to Children Killed as a Result of Russian Aggression Unveiled in Kharkiv

The monument was placed next to Kharkiv Regional Palace of Children and Youth Creativity.

The memorial features sculptures of a boy and a girl. Their figures rise above a granite block symbolizing an explosion. The children are depicted as angels with burnt wings. They are made of bronze and have a special coating that provides additional durability and metal shades. The total height of the composition is about five metres.

According to the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, Oleh Syniehubov, 76 children were killed by Russians in Kharkiv Oblast during the 15 months of the criminal war. The youngest victim of Putin’s crimes was only 5 months old. More than 200 children were injured.

The text on the stone is inscribed:

“To the little angels,

who met so early

with human cruelty

and, unfortunately, will never

will never become adults…”.
