14 Ukrainian Children Dead--and Countless More Suffering (Warning graphic images at link)

Daily Beast

Warning: This story contains graphic images of a mortally wounded child.

They have been bundled out of their homes and into bomb shelters, forced to flee for the border as refugees, and wounded or killed by shelling and air strikes.

The images coming out of Ukraine in the wake of Russian’s invasion have all been harrowing—but none more so than those of the children exposed to the horrors of war.

Hundreds upon hundreds of children left behind all they knew as Vladimir Putin’s attack began in the dark of Thursday morning, rushing with the families to border countries willing to take them in as refugees.

Below, a boy peeks from behind a curtain after fleeing from Ukraine to Romania, while a girl pushes a baby carriage toward the Shehyni border crossing to Poland.
