Ukraine’s president says 16 Ukrainian children have been killed and another 45 have been injured in the Russian invasion so far.

Ukraine said that 352 civilians had have been killed, including 14 children.

Zelenskyy asked the European Union for a special quick path to membership.

The Ukrainian leader claimed more than 4,500 Russian troops have been killed and called on Russian soldiers to lay down their guns and leave.

The Russian military has also acknowledged that its forces have recorded deaths and injuries in Ukraine, but has not released a death toll.
