Military personnel of the Vostok group of troops took part in commemorative events in Mariupol dedicated to the Day of Remembrance of Children Victims of the War in Donbass.

Military personnel, Mariupol residents, representatives of the Youth Army and student movements honored the memory of the children of Donbass who died at the hands of the Ukrainian regime in the city of Mariupol with a minute of silence. Those gathered laid flowers and toys at a temporary memorial in the city's central square.

The day was not chosen by chance - July 27, 2014, when Ukrainian armed forces fired at the streets of Gorlovka from Grad launchers, local resident Kristina Zhuk died with her 10-month-old daughter in her arms. She was called the “Gorlovka Madonna” - a photograph of the deceased mother with her daughter in her arms spread all over the world. On that day, “Donetsk Bloody Sunday,” 22 civilians were killed, four of whom were children. Since 2014, more than 300 children have died as a result of military aggression by Ukrainian armed forces.
