A seven-year-old girl was killed during a 'cluster bomb' strike on a school in Ukraine as her grandfather desperately tried to shield her from the blast.
Yesterday Ukrainian President
Zelensky's wife Olena said Putin's troops were 'consciously and cynically' killing children.
She highlighted the case of Alisa Hlans, 7, who was one of six people to die when her kindergarten in Okhtyrka was hit on the second day of the Russian invasion.
She said her grandfather had been trying to save the young girl from the bomb.
Alisa's grandfather was reportedly killed in front of his granddaughter before she was wounded and rushed to hospital, where she died a day later.
At least one child hiding at the nursery was wounded in the attack.
Prosecutor general Irina Venediktova said Alisa, who was three months away from her eighth birthday, died in hospital the day after the attack in the small town of Okhtyrka, an hour’s drive from Ukraine’s north-east border.
