Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Heorhii Tykhyi criticized the social network X for marking posts about the deaths of Ukrainian children due to Russian aggression as “sensitive content” and for concealing Russian war crimes.
Tykhyi posted his comments on his X profile, as reported by Ukrinform.
“Seriously, X? Since when is the number of Ukrainian kids killed by Russia considered “graphic content?” This isn’t preventing users from exposure to graphic content. This is sweeping Russian war crimes under the rug. This is shameful and must be reversed,” he emphasized.
Tykhyi accompanied his post with a screenshot of a publication from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine. The screenshot shows that X had hidden an image with statistical data regarding at least 616 Ukrainian children killed by Russia and 1,869 injured since the start of the full-scale invasion.
As Ukrinform reported, the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) recognized the Russian missile strike on Kryvyi Rih on April 4 as the deadliest since the start of the full-scale war, resulting in the deaths and injuries of children.
