A seven-year-old girl was killed during a "cluster bomb" attack on a school in Ukraine, as her grandfather desperately tried to protect her from the blast.
Yesterday Ukrainian President Zelensky's wife, Olena, said Putin's troops were "deliberately and cynically" killing children.
She highlighted the case of Alisa Hlans, 7, who was one of six people who died when her kindergarten in Okhtyrka was hit on the second day of the Russian invasion
She said her grandfather was trying to save the little girl from the bomb.
Alisa's grandfather was reportedly killed in front of his granddaughter's eyes before the little girl was injured and rushed to hospital, where she died a day later.
At least one child hiding in the nursery was wounded in the attack.
Prosecutor General Irina Venediktova said Alisa, who was three months shy of her eighth birthday, died in hospital the day after the attack in the small town of Okhtyrka.
The Russian military was accused of using cluster bombs in the attack, with the destroyed kindergarten showing signs of multiple explosions from a single bomb.
It is a claim the Kremlin has denied.
