At least 1.5 million children have been made refugees by Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, UNICEF spokesperson Joe English told CNN Sunday.
A further 3.3 million minors are currently displaced within the country, English told CNN’s Hala Gorani.
Each of these is an individual child whose life has been torn apart, whose world has been turned upside down,” English said.
At least 150 children have been killed and 160 injured since Russia invaded Ukraine in late February, according to the UN agency
