The Alley of Angels in Donetsk, Ukraine is a memorial for children of Donbas killed during the War in Donbas. At the entrance there is an arch made of forged roses interwoven with machine gun ammunition casings, a symbol of war, and doves, a symbol of peace. Under the arch there is a granite slab with the names and ages of the killed children.
A plaque with the inscription "Alley of Angels" was installed on May 5, 2015, and memorial was unveiled on May 5, 2015.[citation needed] The arch and the name plaque were installed in August 2015.[1][better source needed] In 2018 the UNICEF Ukraine reported on Twitter that over 140 children were killed or injured by mines during the war.[2]
On June 1, 2017 a monument to children of Donbas was installed by the Alley. It was created by Russian sculptor Denis Seleznev.[3][unreliable source?] The model for the monument was Kirill Sidoryuk (September 29, 2001 – August 29, 2014),[4][unreliable source?] who was killed while protecting his sister from shelling with his body.[5][unreliable source?]
