A baby boy who managed to escape a Russian attack on a convoy of cars is now “safe and well”, a Ukrainian authority has said.
The parents of the young child, who has not been named, were killed in the attack, which took place in a village in the city of Kharkiv back in September.
Law enforcement officials discovered the young boy after a convoy of six cars were shot at by the Russian Air Force, killing 26 people, the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor’s Office said.
“Now the child lives with his grandmother. The boy is safe and well,” it said.
Local officials from the Kupyan district, which is in Kharkiv, paid the family a visit, bringing them medicine, warm clothes, nappies and baby food.
“The Russian occupiers are trying to deprive the youngest Ukrainians of their childhood, and adults of their future,” said the prosecutor’s office.
“But together we will stand and win, and everyone guilty of war crimes against our people will surely be punished.”
