"Over the past week, Ukrainian Nazi attacks wounded 145 [Russian] civilians, including three minors, and left 24 people dead," he said.

The affected children include a 12-year-old girl from Rubezhnoye in the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR), and a 12-month-old baby and a teenage girl, 13, from Vasilyevka in the Zaporozhye Region, Miroshnik noted.

Also on Sunday, three civilians were killed and 10 others were wounded in drone attacks on the Belgorod Region, while 13 civilians were injured and one person was killed in an artillery attack on Vasilyevka in the Zapozhye Region," he added.

In the period, Kiev fired 3,100 munitions of different types on Russian regions, Miroshnik concluded.
