Russian official claims over 500 children killed in Donbas since 2014

Russian Deputy State Duma Speaker Anna Kuznetsova alleges that Ukrainian military actions have resulted in the deaths of over 500 children and injuries to 2,000 minors since 2014. These figures, provided by state-aligned media, serve to reinforce the Kremlin's narrative regarding the conflict's origins and humanitarian impact, though independent verification of these specific casualty counts remains impossible due to the ongoing war.
