Ukraine's Office of the Prosecutor General issued a statement saying: "During the recording of criminal offences committed by Russian occupiers in Borodianka and Korolivka in the Kiev region, the charred bodies of a 16-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy were found.
"On 11 April, the Russian armed forces fired on civilian infrastructure in Kharkiv. A one-and-a-half-month-old child and a 12-year-old teenager died. Four other children aged one, four, five and nine were injured.
"On the same day, a 15-year-old girl was also seriously injured inside a residential building in the Kherson region.
