UNITED NATIONS — The United Nations has added Russian military forces and affiliated armed groups to its “list of shame” over violations of children’s rights in conflict during the war in Ukraine, according to a copy of a report seen today by AFP.

In an annual report to be released next week, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says he’s shocked by frequent attacks on schools and hospitals and “by the high number of children killed and maimed attributed to the Russian forces and affiliated armed groups.”
