Fourteen children have been killed after Russia invaded Ukraine; the military aggression began last week. It is claimed that 352 civilians have since died since Russian president Vladimir Putin has declared war on the people of Ukraine, CNN noted. Over 500,000 civilian refugees have fled the country to neighbouring countries, including Poland and Germany.
