The Kremlin said on Wednesday it firmly rejected a United Nations report alleging that Russia had violated children's rights in Ukraine.
The report, released on Tuesday, accused Russia of detaining more than 800 civilians, some of them children, since the conflict began in February of last year.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a regular briefing that Russian forces had taken measures to protect children by evacuating them from areas of conflict.
