KYIV, March 15 — Nearly a hundred children have died in the war that followed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy told Canadian lawmakers today.

The southern Ukrainian city of Mariupol was left without means of communication and was nearly running out of food, Zelenskiy said in a virtual address to Canadian lawmakers.

He added that 97 children had been reported dead in total since the war began. — Reuters
