Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights Valeria Lutkovska has said that there were 80 children on board the Malaysian airliner that crashed in Donetsk region on July 17.

“It’s painful to take and even harder to understand the deaths of
hundreds of innocent people, among them 80 children. Nonhumans from the
so-called DPR and LPR, who yesterday killed, maimed and used Ukrainian
children as a human shield, have now extended their bloody hands to
children from the whole world,” the ombudsperson’s press service quoted
her as saying on Friday, July 18.
