Russian official commemorates Donbass child casualties on regional memorial day

Russian Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights Maria Lvova-Belova marked the 'Day of Remembrance for the Child Victims of the War in Donbass' by citing ongoing civilian casualties attributed to Ukrainian military actions. The statement serves as a rhetorical reinforcement of the Kremlin's narrative regarding the origins and nature of the conflict in eastern Ukraine. It reflects a consistent pattern of state-led commemorative diplomacy intended to sustain domestic support for the war effort.
