    I don’t know if “children” includes teens in this context, but if so, another ~1.6M ages 15-19.

    At least in Ukraine if you’re under 18 you’re considered to be a child.

    I’ll concede that there are probably people who left non-occupied areas for Russia as well

    This, plus children from the areas that were occupied by russia previously (Kherson region, Kharkiv region, possibly even to the north of Kyiv)
