UNICEF reminds all sides in Ukraine’s conflict of responsibility to protect children

THE UNITED NATIONS, November 7. /TASS/. The UN Secretariat hopes that those responsible for the shelling of a school in Donetsk, eastern Ukraine, on November 5 will be brought to trial, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said on Friday. Such actions cannot be justified, he told TASS.

The shelling of a school in Donetsk on November 5 was carried out from north-western direction, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) said on Friday.

The United States has also condemned the shelling of a school that led to the death of children in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk, US State Department speaker Jen Psaki said at a briefing.

The teenagers were killed while playing on a school sports field in Donetsk. Three other locals, reportedly aged between 17 and 21, sustained various injuries and were hospitalized.

Russia’s Investigation Committee opened a criminal case to look into the deadly school shelling. According to investigators, on Wednesday afternoon servicemen of Ukraine’s Armed Forces and National Guard launched artillery shelling upon instructions of their commanders directly targeting school number 63 in Donetsk.
