She asked Nato to implement a no-fly zone over Ukraine to ‘save our children, because tomorrow it will save yours’.

She said: ‘The Russian occupiers are killing Ukrainian children. Consciously and cynically.

‘When people in Russia say that their troops are not hurting the civilian population, show them these pictures!’

‘I have to tell you about it. At least 38 children have already died in Ukraine.

‘And this figure might be increasing this very moment due to the shelling of our peaceful cities!

‘When people in Russia say that their troops are not hurting the civilian population, show them these pictures!’
