Lyudmila Denisova, the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, reported that in Volnovakha, Donetsk Region, the Russians force children to attend schools in the areas where hostilities are taking place. Thus, the Russians use children as human shields and thereby complicate the operation to liberate the city.

***In the town of Borodyanka, which was almost completely destroyed by the Russian military, seven bodies were pulled from the debris. In six days of work, rescuers found 19 bodies. After the shelling, the Russians did not allow the debris to be dismantled. There could be living people under the houses. Their voices could be heard from under the debris.

*** The defenders of Mariupol held the defense for 47 days. They have practically run out of ammunition, and the number of enemy military equipment and personnel is ten times greater.
