Donetsk, Aug 31 — DAN. Donetsk residents have gathered at the Alley of Angels memorial complex on the eve of the new schoolyear to honor the memory of the children — victims of the Donbass war, said a representative of the United Russia party’s regional branch.
“The action called ‘They’ll never hear the school bell’ has been held for several years in Donetsk, ” Yelena Fesenko told the Donetsk News Agency. “In 2023, it involves activists of the Donetsk Republic and Young Republic social movements, representatives of the United Russia party and DPR Youth Parliament and schoolchildren.”
The first bell was rung at the memorial on Thursday for 228 children killed in the Donetsk People’s Republic since the beginning of Ukrainian aggression. The participants in the action honored the memory of the victims and laid flowers at the monument.
The Alley of Angels is located in the Pobeda Park in Donetsk’s Kalininsky district. It features a forged arch of iron roses with machine gun shell casings in between, as well as forged doves, as the symbol of peace. Under the arch, there is a granite slab inscribed with the names of the children killed as a result of Kiev regime aggression. City residents often bring flowers and toys to the monument.*jk
