Pavel Astakhov: Kiev lies about the orphans in the east of Ukraine
"In connection with the unfounded cynical statements of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine about the" rescue of orphans "of the Southeast, we invite everyone to ring up (if there is a connection, of course) all 64 institutions for orphans: children's homes, orphanages, boarding schools in Donetsk and Lugansk regions," the RIA said "News".
According to the ombudsman, to get information about orphans who are in a combat zone is quite simple.
“It is easy to be convinced of the official Kiev’s lies and to find out how many abandoned children are forced to live under bullets and shells. All telephones and names of residential institutions are freely available on the websites of these areas on the Internet, ”Astakhov said.
According to the Ombudsman, currently in the east of Ukraine there are 30 family orphanages in which 288 children live, 21 shelter with 885 children, 9 boarding schools - 1513 children. In addition, 450 children are in the Center for Social Rehabilitation, 467 - in 8 orphanages, 681 - in 6 children's homes.
According to Astakhov, during the fighting, Topolek Children's Home, Children's Department of Slavyansk Hospital, Boarding School of Kramatorsk, Children's Camp Barvinok of Donetsk Region, Kindergarten of Slavyansk, Kindergarten Shakhtarochka, Children's Hospital Luhansk were destroyed. More than 115 children died.
On Monday, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry announced that thousands of children were evacuated from orphanages in the war zone.
Earlier, Russia's permanent representative to the UN, Vitaly Churkin, said that in the Lugansk and Donetsk regions there are 1223 orphans, but the Kiev authorities do not respond to the appeals of Russian human rights defenders about their evacuation.
