According to him, on March 21, more than 20 buses were trying to reach the green corridors. Due to the shelling, it was extremely difficult for them to cross the line of hostilities.

«Today is a difficult day, because the children are suffering again. Four children were taken to the hospital. Three children came under fire in the former Huliaipole district, now Polohivskyi. Families left Mariupol, escaped. One child is in critical condition. Another family came under fire in the village of Kamyanske, a child in serious condition too,» – said Oleksandr Starukh, adding that these villains continue to fight with children, but will be responsible for everything.

It will be recalled that the government will pay 3,000 hryvnias (about $100) for each child who was forced to move to safer regions because of the war and all these horrors, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal added.
