109 empty prams in city square: Ukraine's grim reminder of children killed in war

In the Ukrainian city of Lviv, 109 empty prams were kept in Rynok Square today as a grim reminder of the children killed during the Russian invasion.

The heartbreaking photo was shared by Ukraine's Foreign Ministry on Twitter and with the claim 109 children have been killed so far by Russian troops since the war began on February 24.

“109 empty prams were placed on Rynok Square in Lviv. Thatʼs the number of Ukrainian children mercilessly killed by Russian troops since the beginning of the full-scale war,” the ministry tweeted with hashtags ‘close Ukraine sky now’ and ‘stop Russian aggression’.
The photograph shows prams in different colours kept at the Square while several bystanders look or pass by.

The horrors of the war have affected civilians the most.

Days ago, an airstrike hit a maternity hospital in Maruipol where a pregnant woman died, The Associated Press reported. The woman was rushed to another hospital where doctors tried their best to resuscitate her. Both the mother and the baby died.
